Hey I'm new to this site, and the whole recovery ordeal. I've been addicted to Vicodin for the past 6 months and I cant seem to lay off it. My friend gave me one for cramps once and I just fell in love with the pill. I stopped taking it for pain but just because it relaxed me and I loved the feeling. Now I get headaches whenever I dont take it and I cant just take one anymore to make me good I have to take 2 or 3. I've read about people having this addiction and I guess mine isn't as bad as theirs since I only take about 4 aday and some take like 20. But I need to stop before it gets that bad.

lol your story is funny you gotta admit that. If it happened to someone else you'd laugh =P
I quit drinking when I was seventeen. It took getting caught by the police to stop me and I've vowed to never drink again, Its been over a year and although I've had so many chances I Haven't taken any and I know I wont ever drink again. I'm proud of myself although many of my friends think I'm pretty dumb for it.

some people just really do like it i guess. It's not just that they may need sex or want it, maybe age just doesn't matter to them and they'll do it. They probably wont be thinking about the consequences though. I watched a movie a few weeks back I forgot what it was called but it was about this lady who was married, but was having an affair with one of her students. She totally fell in love with him. She was acting like a teenage girl who's madly in love with someone whom her parents didn't approve of. I thought that was interesting.
