I was browsing AOL like I usually do, and I came across this interesting article about painkiller addiction. It says that people in the United States are living in a world of pain and they are popping pills at an alarming rate to cope with it. The amount of five major painkillers sold at retail establishments rose 90 percent between 1997 and 2005. I’m really not at all surprised by that. I’ve recently been suffering from an illness and honestly, pain pills are my best friend. I would not say that I’m addicted to them, because I haven’t been taking any prescription painkillers yet. However, I’m up to about 8-10 pills in an average day. I only stop taking them because I am aware that I can become addicted. But sometimes the pain really is too much to care.
