Oh God no!
Hooked on drugs after an injury. I used to have little sympathy for that, and no understanding of addiction.
Then my pancreas exploded. That’s a LOT more painful than it sounds.
I was on morphine for several days. Not only did it stop the pain, it’s warm, it’s fuzzy, it’s like a mother’s hug, a lover’s caress. I would have gone into shock and died without it. It saved my life, but it’s very dangerous. I ‘get’ how addiction can happen now.
We can only hope Justin is in a better place, one without the pain, one without the cravings, and that his family ultimately finds some comfort.
I’ve talked to Scott, he’s good people.
