What he has to focus on now is going through the program successfully--whichever program he, his family and his doctors have chosen. He also he needs help with pain management for his back. He also doesn't needed added stress, pressure from those who expect him to be back on the air on day #31 and pressure from those who have other agendas. His recovery is going to be difficult, and relapses are common.
That said, I am deeply disappointed that he would allow drugs to take over his life, the same disappointment I'd have if he'd allowed alcohol, gambling or another addiction to control his life. I'm angry because those like my daughter, who has rhuematoid arthritis, pay the penalty because they do not have access to medication they need (in my daughter's case, one of her prescribed drugs is Oxycontin) because others have abused it.
I also don't wanted him treated any differently by the law than anyone else.
