I have cracked my ankle.It's been a month and it's still swolen all around my ankel.At first it was hurting a lot and i really needed the vicodine that my doctor has prescribed.It's been a week that the pain is not that bad.I can handle it without any pain killers, but i still go for vicodine and take one.Just one tablet a day.I am 33 years old and was never addicted to anything in my life.I don't drink,i don't smoke.I haven't even seen any kind of drugs.I am worried that i like the way it makes me feel.When i take it , iam much happier,i am more patient with my kids and i can deal with anything.I feel horrible about it.The good news is i have only few left.But is this what addiction feels like?

yes it can be... try not to take them if you arent in pain... pill popping is no good....i just dont think you can take one a day and be really addicted to it... you would probably be taking much more than that... your bottle would have definitely have been gone already if it was that serious... just to be on the safe side dont do it unless you really are in dire agony...

can u handel not takin it, if u can handel it for atleast a week . then u will be fine, tell ur docor what happend i am sure he can give u something else.
addictions is if u can't live with out it, is when u feel like u have to tkae it, u feel weak and angry and all moody with out it, then yes ur gettin there,
but the fact that u realize that is a very good sign, do urself a favor if u can handel the pain and u think u can go on with out them flush the pills down the toilet.
tell ur doctor see what he recommands to u!
good luck my friend

Do you know another name of medicine iz drugs, dats why doctors try to keep a patient without midicine. Come on you are a human you will heal. Yes you are addicted but no addiction iz good. How you control it iz just stay away I know itz da most toughest thing to do. But you have to try it.

just enjoy your remaining pills and then go on with your life. You encountered a new experience that you like and it can become an addiction if you keep at it. Once your supply ends you wont even have access so you can just deal with stuff sober. Good luck with that

If you were addicted you would be taking considerably more than 1 a day. 1 a day isn't going to make a crap of a difference.

Addiction is like a craving you cannot control. If you don't need the pills for pain anymore, see if you can throw them away.

FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT YOU ARE ADDICTED IF YOU DONT NEED IT AND ARE STILL TAKING IT THEN ITS NOT FOR PAIN ANYMORE ITS FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE AND IF YOU DONT STOP NOW YOU WONT BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT AND IT MAY EVEN LEAD IT OTHER DRUGS SO JUST BECAREFUL
