Hey slipper,
Welcome to the forum.
melijm said it a couple of times in her relpies to you, she referred to her behavior as sick. It’s not that we addicts are bad people, we’re sick people. There’s a massive difference between the two.
I completely understand the lack of guilt you felt. While we’re hunting down our "meds", we’re justifying our behavior the whole time. We step on anyone who gets in the way. We lie, cheat and steal and we somehow manage to justify all of those behaviors at that moment in time, but then later, when the logic part of our brain starts working again, we feel guilty. That’s our sickness…..it’s our disease in action, the disease of addiction.
You are certainly not alone, we’ve all been there.
