But I totally hear you on the cravings thing and not wanting to start them.
Thanks. My big concern is poor judgement when I have it for a few days and then stop. I know I am better off sober because I don't exercise enough control and never will. Being drunk and/or high was a feeling that I enjoyed and that I would enjoy if I were to take enough pain killers to actually numb pain. The memory of it doesn't have nearly as much potential to cause craving as the experience of it would.
