Having overcome a few addictions in my life (not opiates) I can honestly say the reason why people want to take these things everyday is escape. You say that it makes you feel like you have wasted the whole day, well that's the point. Most people with addictions have big holes in their souls that need mending and until that hole is mended all they want to do is run away and escape reality. Most don't even understand the reasons why they feel the way they do or why they don't care about life. I had a point in my life where I really didn't care if I woke up or not. Unless you know addiction personally there is no possible way for anyone to understand what that is like.
Didn't mean to get on a soapbox or take this thread in a different direction but the question was asked and I just felt compelled to give my answer.
Edited to add I have been clean and sober since May 29, 2001. I just want anyone out there reading this to know that it is okay and that I am available to private message if you ever need to talk about the subject. God Bless
