I’m pretty aware of my personality so I’ve always been cautious with painkillers. I really like painkillers, and it could go really bad for me if I messed with them.
I did a count one day. I know 26 people who have either died, OD’ed, or been arrested due to involvement with heroin. Hey, I grew up in Appalachia. Some of these made sense. The majority do not. You don’t expect the kid raised by devout LDS parents to become an addict.
By the way, here is how people OD. You stop for a few weeks. You fall off the wagon. You take the same amount you took before you stopped. Your body has adjusted and now what you are taking is far too much.
This is a huge problem here in NJ, but I don’t want tax dollars thrown at it to create a new segment of the government workforce.
