I think "addictive personality" is BS. I used to pop uppers and downers; then I quit and it wasn't a problem after a while. My doc even gave me benzos for mania since she didn't think I was an abuse risk.
This isn't to say I'm better than you or whatever; I'm just saying the idea that there's some invisible, driving force in your personality that pushes you to pop pills is BS. I imagine your living situation makes escaping reality appealing. If you could work on that, you'd probably stop thinking about pills so much.
As for records; if you clean up and still need something, you can go to a doctor without sending in records, especially if you haven't been seeing a doctor for a couple years.
