For the last 24 hours I have been taking an opiate for back pain, Vicoden
I am thankful for it, but I don't like taking it knowing how easy it is to get addicted to this stuff, but I need it. I have a herniated disc (or something like that) and it allows me to get some relief from excruciating pain. But...taking it under the circumstances of my son being in jail for opiates....feels weird.

For sure! I have hidden drugs from him before because I can't trust him. He's stolen money and sold lots of nice things, like a bass guitar, amp, PS2, etc.
Don't feel badly taking them. They are for the relief of physical pain. What you are doing is modeling the appropriate way to use them. It's not the drugs fault.
Starr. You're so right. I lose perspective sometimes. I NEED this stuff! I have never had this kind of pain before and its horrible!
Taking pills for pain and then stopping is NORMAL. Taking pills without pain and then escalating/stealing is addiction. You cannot even compare the two.
There have been periods where we hid everything, including cough syrup.
I had to go to ER and am not on Percocet and Valium and have never slept so much in my life.
