Answers:
It depends on what pills you take and how severe your addictive behaviour is vs!. that of the coke/meth user!. While all pill addictions are dangerous, some can ravage your body just like street drugs!. Talk to your doctor or rehab counsellor about it!.
I'm relieved to hear that you are in treatment and taking it seriously!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a pretty dumb argument to make on either side but probably worse for the coke addict since god knows what's in that stuff when it's made (either strong or cut with some unknown substance)!.
the pills are regulated so you know what you're getting!. But addicts are addicts and don't necessarily follow the directions!. So you can easily OD on the pills and it happens everyday!. Focus more on your recovery than who's-the-bigger-addict!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Let me get this right, you are in treatment and you are arguing with another addict about whose drug is worse!?

You could argue that one is more addicted to thier drug of choice than another but addiction is a disease whether to pills or cocaine or whatever!. Best of luck with your treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pills are very dangerous!. I know this because my son was addicted to hydrpcoden and he died of a heart attack at the age of 21!. His huge doses of pills destroyed his heart and his kidneys!.

There is no reason to argue!. There is no way to measure which is worse!. In recovery, it is time to find peace in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think they can be equally addictive!. Addiction is an inner state and the object isn't really relevant!. Don't get yourself drained with arguments with people!. Just work on your own journey!.
