Pills are nasty if you needed more the Doctor would give them to you.

The effect I see that pain killers and other addictive, opiate based pills have on past friends, have helped me understand that these things are the scourge of modern America... the money people pay for them help huge pharmaceuticals and they become addicted to them for months, years, their whole life because "my back hurts"... or some other excuse they always use. I'm sorry, but if you're back is hurting for years, obviously the medicine isn't helping and is just covering up something. The worst ones are the ones who do these pills for "fun"... those kind disgust me.
For those of you on pills, get help from an opiate addiction counselor or something... or ask your doctor how to more quickly move on to different, less damaging medicines.
