I am a recovering pill addict and alcoholic. Sometimes I feel that my adderall, hydrocodone and whatever pill it may be is not as bad as an addiction as others.I always think that because I am not shooting up it isn't as bad. Am I right? Am I"better"than other addicts? Is this just the addiction talking and trying to hold me back?Having this opinion... thinking I am njot a"good addict"makes me want to use even more. I end up using just to ease the depression of feeling bad that I am not as deserving of help as coke and heroin addicts.Can anyone relate?**PLEASE post nice comments, because my recovery is serious and any bad comments will just make me want to use

An addiction is an addiction. It doesn't matter what it is, it's all a horrible disease that can ruin people's life. Popping pills is no better or worse that shooting up, smoking, or snorting the other drugs.

Your addiction is better because you are not shooting it up (in my opinion), dont think its going to be easy to stop being an addict, because it will be EXTREMELY hard.You might even have withdrawls and start freaking out, this sounds to me like all side affects of recovery.Dont think you are"not as good an addict"talking like that WILL make you want to just do it again.Good luck! =D
