Do opioids cause extreme constipation?
Glad he is in recovery, but this is a pathetic attempt for sympathy and making a buck.
Good grief, that's your takeaway?
Ripped off! meme would probably be fitting...
What is with these people who have it all being so self-destructive?! Good luck to him..

That’s often a problem with legal pain-killers folks get after surgery.
With chronic high dose use, YES.
Yeah, opiods cause extreme constipation especially at the high levels he was taking (like 55 pills a day).
He’s a sad case, but if you check the residuals the cast of ‘Friends’ are still receiving, each one of the six main characters are currently receiving about $20 million per year.

This is encouraging when it’s been reported that they were actually worshipping satan backstage before taping the shows. Not ALL actors have sold their souls. Glad he figured out that Hell is real. Praying that means he discovered Jesus is real and becomes and evangelist.
I was thinking about the attention this guy has been getting.
If you had a good performer at your job who was liked by everyone…but he would show up to work drunk or otherwise compromised…how would your company handle it? And would anyone there call him a hero?
It’s good that he had a problem and he fixed it.
But, as my wife used to tell our kids..”You don’t get extra points for doing the right thing.”
Oh…absolutely. A few days on morphine for a kidney stone and sitting on the toilet was almost as bad as the stone.
this is what Free Republic has come to? feh...
What an idiot - you can get sober for a dollar a day.
Opioids will stop you up like Quik-reet. You better be taking stool softeners 1:1 with every pain killer or your sh!t will be impacted in about 2 weeks.
My experience as a drunk is this I have to act my way into right thinking that becomes a habit.
I can go to “treatment centers” listen to others and feel good about what I hear sort of the phony way I lived when I went to church and sinned like hell afterwards.
But my program of recovery is ultimately a program of action a split second in the moment decision not to intoxicate myself again.
A decision repeated over and over again until it sticks.
Good for him to share his story and warn others about the dangers. I’m sure this wasn’t easy to do.
He was getting paid 1 million dollars per episode for the tv show Friends (plus syndication royalties on top of that). So, it cost him only 9 out of 230+ episodes.
