I've been hyper vigilant about taking tha bare minimum when prescribed painkillers and stopping as soon as I could manage for this reason. My sibling wasn't so lucky. [/quote]

You followed the directions.  Your sibling, more than likely, did not.

Yes, there's choice.  But more often than not, there's also a complex set of biological factors beyond a person's control that set the course for addiction.  Impaired coping mechanisms that never even develop properly because of adverse events in childhood and even in utero.  You get a kid never able to cope with stressors beyond their control who becomes a teen or adult seeking relief for a pain they didn't know they had.
