Thanks for your input Alexander! I am just a newbie at this computer and I can't believe there are people out there who really care. I just watched Opra the other day and her guests were middle class mothers addicted to oxy. I am one of them. Its makes you feel like you can be a "Super Mom" and I am terrified I cannot be the same person I was before I started taking these drugs. Apparently, you can't. I'm not ready to take the first step yet. The women on the show were taking up to 40 tabs a day!!
