My neighbor is an alcoholic. I would look in on her during her last binge. I wondered if she were better off alive or dead.

She finally agreed to take a monthly injection. Sounds like
Unwashed’s Naltrexone, which has a daily pill alternative. She likes the injection, so she can’t skip a pill or two or a hundred.

I don’t think it’s a complete answer, but it’s been helpful.

I think she’s been clean. I think it’s been a year.

Let me know if you want the name of the drug. Or if you want to talk to her or me.

My addiction was to prescribed morphine.

I was able to get over it in 2011 but it was h*ll.

In a nutshell it was the same as what Rush had. A medical issue that turned into addiction but mine was not chronic.

It’s two different addiction mechanisms alcohol and morphine. Actually GABA-A addictions (alcohol, valium and the like) are worse.

Morphine dependence won’t lead to death on withdrawal. GABA-A drugs can kill if you quit too soon.

Oh, BTW, it was one of Odinga’s illegal darlings who ran me over. The DA probably gave him a cookie for each American he maimed or killed.
