Man, ya step out for a few weeks, and look what happens. I have been away for a while, and just can't let this go.
Quote:

In layman's terms, dependence and addiction can take on the same definition. In the medical field, they are two different things.


What world do you live in? I just came back from a stint "with the best team of psychiatrists and psychologists in town" who forced me to repent my sins to "addiction councillors" for daring to say that I needed proper medication to live, and rejecting their stance that "all we need to do is try a new battery of antidepressants on you" coupled with "close your eyes, take a deep breath, blow out slowly and while keeping your eyes closed, tell me what you hear" snap-out-of-it bullcrap. Not one GD person in the whole debacle understood the difference between dependence and addiction. That is in large part what is wrong with our medical community and our laws. I was a fool to be honest and straight up with them. Now I've been labelled a "drug seeker", and what pitifull amounts of opiates I was on, were suddenly cut off as a result. You are trying too hard to make everyone see "your point". I see it very clearly. You don't see your very thought process is the root of the problem. I guess I'm a "junkie" - not that there's anything wrong with that!

Prettyday, your note almost made me forget what I was going to say. I can see why posting to something like this (is this now officially a flame war?) can make you feel the way you do. It has drummed up similar emotions in me, considering my most recent nightmare with the medical community. I am unable to talk as openly about this as you have, but much of your story is very similar to mine. You explained it so well (except about the girl stuff) I feel don't need to. As a matter of fact, there seems to be a piece of me in many of the stories.
