Was it a slip?

8. IMHO no.

as long as it's medically necessary and overseen by medical personnel it isn't a slip.

if one begs the doc to send them home with more heavy drugs even knowing the pain is manageable with OTC, that's a slip.

I had to take codeine cough syrup with pneumonia, i resisted the doc insisted, hubby doled it out for a week then the rest went down the drain. no slip

if i had refilled the script and 'nipped' it after a tough day, slip

this is my personal experience and belief, YMMV

edit to add, my friend in the OP knew she didn't need the narcotics for the procedure she had that day, but had been planning all week for getting those drugs and how it would be great to 'get some relief'
