Why does our addiction turn us away from family and friends?

It is good to know things are getting better for you. I am so excited about getting clean. All this family stuff will be gone in a few days and I will then quit taking my vicodin. I took 3.5 today and even played golf. I am somewhat suprised. Enjoy your evening.

Because it controls your life PERIOD!  Nothing else matters when someone is addicted to a physicaly dependant drug.  ***** doesn't it?

Because we only think about our addiction.

I'm having fun with my husband tonight.  I'm having drinks with him and listening to our favorite tunes and talking.... Something I haven't done in a long, long time.  

Pills are evil and must be destroyed.
