Shelli:
Hope i addressed your concerns in :
Re: opiates; tolerance and addiction
Sorry, forgot to add your name. Also am not taking 10mg but 5mg> History of addiction
don't think this exactly fits either. If over a 2 year period you drank a six-pack every night out in the jungle (worked in small mining operation), but never missed work or neglected other resphonsibilities, you might say that that person was wasting his time in idle pursuits, that he was setting a poor example for others etc.
I think real addiction (and i've seen it) is where you are hocking the furniture, don't have food in the fridge for the kids or are indulging in front of the kids, missing work or getting high during the day, etc, etc.
The place i was at was indeed hellish, thank God it was not worse.
I do need the feedback though, thanks again
