Dear Dee, no, no, no, you are not a "pill junkie" if you are taking
medication for pain. If however, you are taking pills to ( "get high) then
you are. Do you have adhesions? Are you in pain? If so, the pills are what
you need. If you are faking anything then that's different. Don't think of
yourself as an addict if your pain is real. That's a trap that our families
and society puts on us, but we don't have to accept it. There is a great
deal of evidence that as soon as our pain is gone, we can stop the pills
easily. Or if not easilty, then with some effort, but I'm convinced I can
stop anytime I want to. But I'm not going to live a life of laying in the
fetal position crying and moaning. And neither should you. Love, Sally
