Do You Understand Addiction?

Question by Jenna: Do you understand addiction?
Maybe someone can help me understand why in my entire life I’ve never had a problem with alcohol, sex, porn. I’ve tried pot, coke, crank, crack in my late teens and twenties and never cared for any of it. Didn’t need it.
Now I’m 38 y.o and on pain meds for an injury that has just about crippled me. I feel, in fact, I KNOW I’m addicted to the meds. Taking the prescribed amounts is never enough and I’m unhappy without the opiates.
Do you think I can beat this? I really can’t stand the feeling of NEEDING something like this to get by. Oh, and I can barely walk without the meds. What do I do?
