Until today, I've never understood the epidemic
that is prescription drug addition. I just didn't get it. Class A drugs, yes, I
see the appeal - illegal, slightly glamorous and true party aids. But popping
pills from a medicine bottle has always baffled me. Where is the attraction?
Today, I discover the answer. I now totally,
totally get it! The story goes like this. I had a small non-eventful surgery
procedure today. Due to my 'control' issues I was not thrilled to be parting in
general anesthetic (it's like being on a plane - everything totally out of my
hands). So the lovely Doctor gave me something to 'help me feel more relaxed'
along with my anesthetic. I awoke to find myself in a lovely floaty haze that lasted
all day. That shit was amazing. James was 40 minutes late collecting me and I wasn’t
even phased. Normally I’d be calling him after five minutes asking where the
hell he is. Instead, I casually waited another 30 minutes before putting in an
'are you coming soon' call. Anyone who knows me will appreciate this is nothing
short of abnormal behaviour.
I’ve never felt so chilled
and relaxed in my life. And, I now have a whole new perspective on the ease
with which one could become addicted to prescription drugs. They may not have
the glamour, but my god, they have the impact. I could really do with a bit
more of THAT feeling in my daily life.
