I've been prescribed them and have been taking them pretty consistently for nearly seven years now. But I'm not addicted, why? I don't crave or need them if I am off them. Out of those seven years, one of them was completely opioid free. I even used to take three a day for six months straight to help me with pain from my cancer treatment, and then immediately stopped taking them (insert that year without them) and didn't feel the need for them or anything.

So why is that? People act like taking just one is going to ruin your whole life.

Probably for the same reason I'm not addicted to alcohol or gambling.

Yeah but they make it seem like if you take them once you're already abusing them and immediately addicted. I didn't abuse them, but taking them three times in one day is a lot even though that's the most you're prescribed to take in a day. You'd think doing that would get you hooked, but it didn't.

Though I did take four in one day once, but I didn't know I was only supposed to take three, and also I was in unbearably bad pain that day in particular.

Chemical addictions affect different people differently. Some people can smoke tobacco recreationally without any issues, others develop a dependence after only a few uses. Opioids are dangerous because a relatively large percentage of the population can develop a strong addiction, not because it always happens.

Yeah, I think it has to do with personality type or something like that. I get addicted to things easily. (You wouldnt believe how many times Ive gone to Build-A-Bear Workshop. And those things are kind of expensive even if you dont buy extra clothes!)

I'm wildly interested in hearing your Build A Bear escapades.

I have a naturally high tolerance to painkillers, it sucked when I was in the hospital and they had me the highest legal dose of morphine and I still was in an overwhelming amount of pain, also I never finish any prescriptions because they don't do too much for me
