Good news, you still haven't had an opioid since your surgery. Tramadol is not in the opiate family.

That's how this guy was. He would be clean for a while, and then, one pill, and right back in the muck.

This is really really true. I’m dealing with chronic depression and debilitatingly loud audio hallucinations of suicidal thoughts.
I fear I have an addictive personality, so I avoid really abusing drugs or alcohol, but I sure as shite will avoid responsibilities by drowning out the voices with music and television to the point that it endangers my professional career.
If it wasn’t tv, it’d be video games, sports gambling, some dumb hobby, porn, or anything else. The issue isn’t the coping mechanism but what you’re using it to cope with.
I need professional psychiatric help to figure out how to get the suicidal voices and depression under control before my coping mechanism ruins my career and bankrupts me. I’ve been in therapy for a little over a year and it’s gotten worse. Finally broke down and tried reaching out to a psychiatrist about getting a prescription. I’m hoping that I can get started soon and take a long paid vacation from work to see if it works.

they make it almost impossible to shite. That constipation misery is worse than the original pain.
Believe it or not, the American pharmaceutical industry has actually developed a pill to combat that.
Mu receptors are also in your intestines and the opiates activate them causing constipation.

I know we’re around the same age and this age is when mental illness can really manifest itself in men. Stay diligent in getting yourself the help you need.

I kinda had a wakeup call a few weeks ago when I was talking with a bunch of other friends who have gone through long bouts with depression and gotten on medications. When I described the symptoms I’d been coping with, they all looked at me scared shitless like “no, man, that is absolutely NOT f$&king normal, and you’ve been dealing with that for HOW LONG?! How are you still alive!?”
Kinda made me realize that I have something a little more serious than just being sad because I got divorced and don’t like my first job out of law school, something that can’t be fixed just from a little mindset change, talking out my problems, and exercise. It’s way past time I turn to a real prescribed medical solution.
It’s not the escape mechanism that’s the problem, it’s what you need to escape from. As long as I have thoughts and feelings that need running from, I’ll always be looking for ways to escape from them for a little while.

While we’re on it, I just took a 50 mg Tramadol because my shoulders are currently on fire with arthritis and other inflammation. First time to ever take this and 1st time to take any opioid since the hydrocodone I was prescribed after my shoulder surgery a year and a half ago. Anybody familiar with this drug and can give me an idea on how it may react in me? I haven’t slept more than 3 hours at a time in probably 6 months, so was desperate.
I hated it, but I loved opioids. I don't believe it is a narcotic but I might be wrong. It isn't an opioid though. And when I say I hated it, it did not get me high it made me nervous. Unfortunately I can not take any pain medication bc of addiction. Because like someone said earlier, all it takes is me taking one pill and I know I will go right back to telling whatever lie will get me that next one..

Unfortunately trashy doesn't have a stigma with it anymore.
