As much as I oppose the WOD, there is a big difference between starting on a chemical because it was suggested by a doctor in response to chronic pain after botched surgery, and simply "liking" it.

I oppose the WOD, and I love Rush, but getting hooked on your original doctors prescriptions for pain are almost as rare as walking on water. Any reputable doctor will cut you off. I think we can presume Rush could afford a reputable doctor. Once you start shopping for unethical doctors or housekeepers with a connection, it is because one way or the other, you like it.

I took oxycontin last year after shoulder surgery. It is very hard to quit because if feels good, but I don't think it is any more addictive than tobacco.

"but I don't think it is any more addictive than tobacco."

Which is to say its one of the most addictive substances on the planet?
