[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the genetic predisposition. 
I have had surgeries in the past, a couple of which got me prescriptions to some pretty heavy stuff. I liked how it made me feel and it definitely took the pain away, but once the pain was more tolerable and I realized I could go by without the heavy stuff, I’d switch to OTC. I am also very clumsy and have injured myself a lot in the past 5 years or so (shoulder sprain, ankle fracture, ankle sprain, knee sprain, dislocated knee) and they have also given me opioids for those. Last time I had an injury, I was prescribed an anti-inflammatory that worked wonders without the opioid I was given along with it. So even though the opioid would have made me feel great, I knew I wouldn’t need it. 
I have so much opioid left over in my house, I’m sure I could get high for days. But I won’t. Once I build enough of a back up, I get rid of the excess because I don’t need that stuff in my house. However, I can see how a person who is predisposed to addictions (people normally refer to them as having an additive personality) would have gone down a rabbit hole and not been able to come back, had they been given the same cards I was dealt.[/quote]
