Ive wondered the same thing b/c my mother takes a hydrocodone or
vicodin and shes asleep for 2 days...ME, im up and ready to work, clean my house, mow the yard, etc....
i believe, b/c most of us ARE addicts, our brains are wired differently. I too, am a 43 yr old mother of 4 that works and thinks that she has to be superhuman! I have 32 days to go and i will have been clean of all mind altering, mood altering substances for 1 whole year!!!!
