Dear Newb, Some 15 odd yrs. ago, when I was a little older than you, I, too, was addicted to pain pills. Darvon for debilitating back pain and migraine headaches.Lots and lots of Darvon. Because I was connected to the medical profession, it was easy to get them. It took me 2 years to finally get off of them once I admitted that I was in a deep hole. You will need help, but you can do it if you really want to. Good Luck. Amy
