question explained differently

I started by saying I am not a typical addict.  Others see things differently.  I a perscribed them becasue they cant find any reason for the pain.  Fibromylgia? Chronic Pain syndrome? I have no I dea I am not trying to flaunt my use of medications in front of someones face.  I want to be responsible but apparently I didnt get accross the first time I take the patches as perscribed however i do not take the oxycodone as directed.  I would like  to be more responsible with out all the pain.  I am an addict and I know that, but how does someone who is heredically predispositioned to be an addict take the perscribed meds as perscribed

I totally got ur other post.Glad u know u r an addict though.I think that those were the words that were simply missing from ur other post.Ur question is definitely a good one.I would say the only way is to have someone u trust to only give u whats prescibed and no more.I will say if u have abused them as we all do(have)u cnt hold them.Also though n ur case u said u dnt really need those pills because ur pain is controlled by the patch.U r n a position not to have to worry about how to take pills u dnt really need responsably.Especially with such a backround as I have the same(predisposed).
