can i offer a minor correction? everyone (besides me) i know who has struggled with opioid addiction, the cause for their addiction wasn’t being prescribed opioids. the problem was their doctor removed the access to legal opioids while they were still in enough pain that they required opioids, so they were forced onto the illegal market and the cheapest thing they could get was some mix of heroin and fentanyl. by the time they no longer required opioids, they had gotten addicted to the illegal drugs.
without going into too much detail of my personal experience, i’ll just say for the love of whatever gods you don’t worship do not fuck around with opioids. take them as exactly as your MD prescribes if you can. if everything goes wrong you run the risk of waking up every morning with a deep, craving instinctual in your veins.
I mean, the other way you could interpret this is that they were prescribed opioids, got addicted to them, and then (because they were addicted) convinced themselves that their only option was the black market.
yes, that is what the doctors keep telling themselves, that the book says oh no you should have healed by now. oh yes i promise that we didn’t screw up. i promise that you recovered properly we didn’t completely ruin your body.
