For me, it was "you don't need painkillers, benzo's" ( I have chronic pain & anxiety issues. ) And my mother abused prescription pain meds all her life, to the day she died. So, needless to say, my fam pretty much pegged me as a drug addict, but, not once, did it ever help to tell me I didn't need my meds!
What did help was getting hooked on heroin ( 4mos ) after being kicked to the curb by my hubby's PA ( long story! Lol! )
Oops, think I got off subject a bit!!!
