Well, I just took a Hydrocodone and I don't see what the big fuss is about.

My kids are genetically prone to be addictive. Everyone one in my family is on alcohol or other, in many stages of addiction. So I preach.beg. talk til I’m blue. About this issue. Funny though it looks like the lil’wrekker may be the one who might have a problem someday. She had her wisdom teeth out and other dental work last summer. She had 30 pills of vicodin, and begged for every one I would give her. It was obvious they made her high. She has no pain tolerence, at all. I have had the big talk with her about fun drinking at college. And showed her examples in our own family of the ugly results of years of abuse. I hope she’s getting it. I know I come off like Debbie downer about it. I have to do it though. I feel like a flimsy piece of paper between her and addiction, at this point. So far, no issues yet. I am watching.

How do you square that with this post?

I have never had a doctor just willy-nilly prescribe oxy or hydrocodone. You kinda have to beg for it if you need it around here. My daughters dental surgeon gave her a prescription for generic Advil, after wisdom teeth removal. I had to call him back to get the real stuff. Then I had to drive over to pick up the paper script, they wouldn’t call it in.
My dog bit hand got me 16 oxy. No chance of getting addicted around here.

I’m just curious. These two posts seem completely at odds.
