Is pill addiction that same as coke addiction?

Question by Follow-the-narrow-gate: Is pill addiction that same as coke addiction?
I am a recovering pill addict and alcoholic. Sometimes I feel that my adderall, hydrocodone and whatever pill it may be is not as bad as an addiction as others.

I always think that because I am not shooting up it isn’t as bad. Am I right? Am I “better” than other addicts? Is this just the addiction talking and trying to hold me back?

Having this opinion… thinking I am njot a “good addict” makes me want to use even more. I end up using just to ease the depression of feeling bad that I am not as deserving of help as coke and heroin addicts.

Can anyone relate?

**PLEASE post nice comments, because my recovery is serious and any bad comments will just make me want to use
