Galkeepinon,
Thanks for your post.
I recognize that I have an addictive personality. I'm an addict. I am addicted to food, sex, and nicotine. I posted this here to get more information on what I was doing and to come clean. Opiates are not my first drug of choice. Sex actually is my first drug of choice.
I have not been doing sex so drugs seem attractive now. I have a therapist who I can talk to about the sex stuff. I have not brought up this side of myself to him. I do know that I need to be very careful with opiates. I have none in the house now and that is a good thing.
Maybe in the future I will request that this doctor not give me any narcotics. It is a great feeling. I do know that if I were terminal and in pain I would take the opiates.
I'm physically very healthy and there is no real reason for me to use opiates other than that they make me feel good. You are probably right that I should not experiment anymore with opiates. I've read here how people get bitten by the opiate snake. Once bitten, it's hard to resist. I'd have to say that right now I have no problem really staying away. It might be wise to leave it at that. I can see how I could become a regular user. The high is just too good.
Well, thanks for the post and I'll keep reading here for more information on this. I will continue to get support from all of you around this. I'll let you all know what I'm up to.
Blessings,
Simcha
