I like to take vicodin just because I like the way I feel relaxed on it and how I'm able to sleep on it. Basically, anything with codeine in it, I'll take it.

I was prescribed some today at the ER after falling on my knee last night. Today, I can't lift it without grunting in agony. They x-rayed it, nothing broken. Just soft-tissue strain (sprain?). Anyway, I was excited to get the prescription for vicodin.

Don't know if any of this suits the classic definition of addiction...

edit:

I don't take them very often. In fact,a bottle can remain with pills in them for some time without taking any. Just sometimes when I feel stressed or want to relax or sleep well, I'll take a couple.

Pot works better (for me anyway), is not addictive and costs less so long as you don't get caught. A hit or two per week usually works for me. It also helps unlock the right side of my head and helps me concentrate. Again, that is predicated on my only smoking once or twice per week.

It sounds like you are on a slippery slope and will become addicted if you are not careful.
