You lie!!!

[roughroad]

No, not you...the pills. Opiates all across the board. Just a pack of liars they are.
You tell us that we need you to have the energy to go on with our day
You tell us we need you to sleep at night
You tell us that if we ever leave you that we will be miserable forever
You tell us that you bring us happiness
You tell us that with you we are superwoman or superman
You tell us we need you to be social and deal with people
You say that we are nothing without you.

Well, this sounds to me like an emotionally abusive relationship. Is this not stereotype abuser statements??? Well sorry dear pills, I caught you in your lie!! Hahaha, now closing in on two weeks after our 'breakup' I have proven one by one that everything you told me was a manipulative tool to keep me with you even if I wasn't happy with our relationship. Good thing for me I HATE liars and never have had a problem with leaving them. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.....bye bye ;-)
Oh yea, this is the part of breakups I love....when I find I was justified and right and they were all wrong.
Anyone else feel like exposing their pills lies---then do it here.

Thats how my medication problem started.  I have had 5 surgeries.  I have 5 levels fused with rods, screws, and my favorite some dead guys ground up bones.  The meds helped me alot.  And I thought if one works I guess 2, then 3, then 4 works better.  It happens.  Again I wouldnt trade my addiction for any other long life lesson.  Im me because of it.  And I now like me.  Stupid sh** and all.

It is a Great thought - And I mostly Agree...
My Only Disagree, is that for Folks that really do have some Gnarly Pain - Like Arthritis or Bolted up Vertebre, Opiates give a False sense of Good Self Being.
A Happy Feeling. It may not even take away the pain - but atleast we feel good.
The only realy crummy part is when - you begin to abuse what you have instructed, or not planning on taking it all your life and want to come off in the future. That is, if you have been taking a particular Narc for quite a while.

But yeah - Like the Commercials say, "Do You Suffer From xxxxxxx" Then Take me! I'm the Best Thing You can Have !""

My problem was.  I turned stupid thoughts into stupid actions.  I think I may have gone wrong at that point.

Oh I do laugh at it. The last 2 or three months of my addiction I started laughing at the incredibly stupid thoughts that ran through my head.

[livngr8ful]

Yup.. Addiction *****.. Bit I find my actions funny.  I think wow I did that...Then I think wow I did that more than once.  It became a pattern.  Cheers on recovery.  Find time to make fun of it.

[roughroad]

Yes... I'm glad to hear you can think without drooling on yourself too LOL.
See the amazing thing is these lil devils live up to their promises...at first. But then once the addiction begins they get comfortable and show their true colors but have you so blindly in love that you don't see it.
I just feel so grateful right now to be where I am today.

Not bad, not bad.....   Problem is for me, they didn't lie to me.  I can safely say I liked them alot.  I remember well.  They did make me feel most of the things that were written about.  Real or not I still listened and listened well.  I wasn't superman, nor did I really need them for me to be anything.  All they have done in my eyes was tell a story, a fictional story.  Now, I didn't ever believe Micky mouse drove a steam boat, Nor did I believe a hobbit walked that far just to drop a ring in to a volcano.  I guess I was gullible and didn't trust myself to read between the lines. I didn't have the for thought to think all this through.  Yes I slept better, but didn't need them to get that (sex works well).  They did give me energy I didn't have (because I didn't have enough oxygen to produce energy. My head was to far up my a55).  They did say I would be miserable but not forever (a love lost is way worse). Happiness, ya I was happy (I was high, most people are happy in that state), happiness is allover. Superman well not really (I didn't feel much at all, mostly emotion. Crappy super power I think).  Social never said that (I didn't need to be social I was looped and couldn't hold my head up at the dinner table). Nothing with out them?  (ha ha.. I know I was human the whole time, just a crappy one).  And with the abusive relationship, ( I know I walked away from that girl "ALLISON" who seemed to sleep with everyone I didn't know. So I could see that coming if it was actually truth )
I think I was telling myself all that stuff, just so my make believe friend would still play with me. I should have watched more of the smurfs (you know the little blue things with diapers), I may have been better off. I knew my parents were to blame. Just kidding Im the only one to blame.. I made the whole thing up in my head.  Good post, made me think.  I like to think now that I can without drooling on myself.
