scam artist... con artist?

Are (we=addicits) ME considered to be scam/con artists? Is a "scam" and "con" the same thing? Reason i was w/d BAD yesterday i had no tram's but had hold of some perc's running low next tram refill in 10 days yet needed to have an important meeting tomorrow and being sick was NOT GOOD CAN"T HAPPEN and i made sure of it so since having worked in pharmacy before and know how they work i did my scam and got my meds yet with a hole in my pocket...i had to pay! $100 i have INS transfered rx to another and told them i had none! All i had to do was wait a week for INS or even better not at all since i was 2 days somewhat in w/d, half taper, end of supply. I screw up! I screwed up bad i can't believe i'm a scam/con artist and have been ever since i've been an addict it goes hand in hand.......

I want to tell you that the people here have been truly wonderful and as i keep posting I see what everyone is/has been through. You are not alone. I am 40 and have been on "something" since I was @14 weed,acid,coke etc..I haven't done those hard drugs since i was 19 but have smoked weed for a good 25 yrs. I'm sick of that too. My addiction that is killing me is vicodin. I do not have any knowledge of tramadol.But i have had every hydrcodone containing drug there is..norco,lortab etc..You are going to find help here. w/d sucks and I have done it a few times off different things but this time I am having much difficulty. I was ready to die the other night and the friends here just talked to me all night..and I do mean all night. I am not yet clean but i want to encourage you anyway i can. I am scared too and i have 6 kids  3 of them are11 & under. it sucks to be a slave to this.

Tramadol is a hard opiate to quit since it can be deadly!  DO NOT TRY TO QUIT TRAMADOL COLD TURKEY!  This can cause severe seixers and even DEATH!

I have taken tramamdol as well, and about the same way.  I would wake up and pop 4 of them and then take another 4 of them every 4-5 hours afterwards.. I only did this with one script, one time.. So it wasnt long enough to get addicted to them, plus I just came off those back onto the oxycontins..  PLEASE BE CAREFUL..

Did you find the post I made about the "HARDEST DRUGS TO WITHDRAWL FROM"(AND THEIR AFFECTS)?

Yes, that is conning and scamming! Addicts do this to get what they need, and do it in many forms!  Deep inside I am sure there is a good honest person, Yet the drugs has taken that person away and they cannot be free unless you choose to battle this addiction head on!  You are at the right place to start, and admitting your problwm is the first step..  DO YOU WANT HELP?  DO YOU WANT TO QUIT THESE DRUGS?

What is your drug of choice?

How many/ much do you take per day?

How long have you been addicted?

YOU NEED HELP, AND WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
