Someone can you please help me. Opiate addict.

I've been addicted to all opiates besides heroin for about 6 years. I'm 21 now. My question is is my addiction my fault? I'll be more specific. I hurt my back when I was 15 and one of my family members gave me 1 hydrocodone and after the first time I was hooked. Through out the years the family member kept on giving me opiates because that family member is the one that got me addicted so that family member feels guilty. So since I was about 15or16 I have been given opiates from that family member. So my question is...is my addiction my fault? I was just a kid when I started. I never wanted this. And now I'm a full blown addict. So what is your opinion. I get the opiates from the family members prescription.

Some people are more prone to get addicted or more accurately put "physically dependent" on opiate than others. The predisposition is determined by their genes like the eye color however it is also a choice that you make every time you continue taking them. At some point of your life you must take responsibility for your actions and start making choices based on what is right not what feels good. When you are ready for that come back and ask me how to get off. Good luck to you.
