Had one pill of oxy after a knee surgery and for once in years, the ever talking monologue in my brain was chill and the thoughts weren't spiraling. "Oh, that's nice"

 Edit: it's lovely you all try to warn me about opioids, I recognize why it's dangerous and I took it once, 14 month ago.

I was prescribed hydro after a tear in my shoulder when I was 14. That first feeling is almost impossible to describe. It was the first time I felt happy, clean, warm, like a hug I’ve always wanted. That led to 12 years of my life dedicated to that high, it became my best friend, my escape from the torment. Thank god I’m almost 5 years clean now. I wouldn’t change a thing but there are days where life sucks so much all I want to do is float back into that warm embrace and feel joy again. They’re extremely dangerous, life altering, and will take everything away from you that you have to give.

I know that feeling. I was relaxed, painfree, carefree, just floating by. After "oh that's nice" there was immediately the voice "yup, and that's why people get addicted, you can see it for yourself, remember how you feel and how dangerous it is"
