You sound similar to my dad. He’s been addicted to opioids about 7 years at this point.

I was oxycodone for three months pre-back surgery and another month after.

Yes, after four months I was 100% hooked and really noticed it when I first got up in the morning after being without a pill for around 10 hrs and of coarse instantly better after taking my morning pill.

Not lying I was hooked.

So I bought a pill cutter. Best investment EVER. I would take tiny slices off of each pill like every other day until the pills were tiny slivers.

Took about three weeks to wean myself off doing the pill cutting method but doing it very slowly it was pretty painless.
