I tiptoed along the edge of a narcotic addiction a while back, for reasons similar to what you've described. When I take an Ultracet, or a Lortab, or a Percocet, or some codeine cough syrup, I feel like I can deal with anything- and not just deal, but come out on top. I feel friendly and personable and relaxed. On drugs, I feel like I want to feel all the time.
If I had access to narcotics, I would have a very serious problem. Being the reasonable person that I am, I deal with those feelings like I pretty much deal with all the other feelings that cause inner turmoil. I tell myself they don't matter, and I ignore them.
