My father makes me feel bad. I have a standing prescription for Vicodin(hydrocodone). The bottle says to take 1 every 4 to 6 hours for pain. I only take 2 a day. 3 on a bad day. I have crohn's disease. I have pain in my bowels and lower stomach very often. Its on a day to day basis. I cant function normally due to the pain.
My father calls me a drug addict all the time. Says I am a loser druggy. Worthless things of that nature. The thing that confuses me is, how can he think that? I take what the bottle says. My doctor gave me this prescription without my request. I dont understand why he says these things. It really makes me feel so terrible.
It seems that people have abused this drug in the past. Therefore it has gotten a bad rep. Even when its not abused people always assume the user is a junkie. Am I delusional? Or can I really be considered a drug addict? I suppose in a sense you could say I am. Just for the fact that it is an addictive drug. If your prescription says to use it regularly. then you will become chemically dependent. However I am not using these pills for recreational purposes. What do you all think? Am I in fact a "Drug Addict"?
