Sadly, many have used heroin when cut off. It's a crying shame people can't have the medicine they need without needing to use street drugs.

Before my surgery I would have killed myself without the little bit of relief the drugs gave me.

The drugs never killed my pain completely, they only allowed me to dull the pain enough to somewhat function.

People that truly need pain meds and don't abuse them seldom get addicted. They will become dependent but that is in no way addicted. I'm posting from work. I have a page bookmarked that explains the difference between addiction and dependence when I get home.

I know, you don't give a shit, let them die, you never really loved them anyway.

Is that directed at me?

What kind of work?

Oh, I’m sorry. It was not directed at you. It was directed at someone else but some how I I posted it to you. Again I am so sorry.

I wish there was a way to edit a post when I make such an error.

Exactly. Why should the taxpayer “spend a lot of money” on this.
