I’m having a hard time getting worked up about all this opioid addiction. I herniated a disc in my neck. The pain was unbearable and before I knew it I was addicted to vicadin. When the pain started easing up and I started taking less drugs I started going through withdrawals. So I flushed the rest of them down the toilet and did full withdrawals for a week. And that was that. Haven’t, and won’t, take them now.
If I had unending, unbearable pain I’d take them again, addiction or not. Which is worse? The pain or the addicition?
That's a pretty wise perspective.
