Hi Zero. Great post! I just had a run in with the same type of thing and I have no history of use of pain pills. There was no recall for me to light up it was just a dangerous idea. I have no desire to zone out at all but my mind saw an opportunity to use "safely" (it wasn't booze) and it tried to grab it. That link you posted was a good read.
I actually thought about PSH and how he had one drink after 23 years sober and less then 2 years later he is dead and away from his family. We will probably have to always be ready to be really honest with ourselves from now on. For me there seems to be a knee jerk reaction and then reason will take over if I give it enough time. We can do that.
