Thanks for your opinions, thoughts and suggestions.

I do have diagnosed OCD and have displayed compulsive behaviors for years before addiction began. I understand that addiction is a totally separate thing and my OCD is not the cause but do believe that there is such think as an addictive personality and i know there is an addictive gene involved in my case. I just wish there was more research and or medial options to treat the genetic aspect of addiction. Most people that take pain medication do not abuse it a take the medication as prescribed. Something hit a switch in my brain when I was on the medacine. I look forward to seeing more research on this aspect of addition over the years.

I do see a therapist and she agrees with me. With a strong history of addiction I my family, she sees this as a 60/40 situation addition and life.
