I am sorry if I offended you. I was just telling you my experience but I know that is not true for everyone.
I watched my late wife’s two sisters who started smoking at 14 both die from their decisions. One died of lung cancer that spread to her brain which led to a very painful death. The other who was also a heavy drinker died of complications of severe COPD and alcohol dementia.
Everyone is different and I was just being honest about my experiences. If I came across as self righteous I am truly sorry.
I feel sorry for the people that suffer from opioid addiction and abuse prescription drugs. Yes withdrawals symptoms prove I am addicted but I feel fortunate that I have never had to increase my dosage of Klonopin. I feel sorry for the people that have had to do that. Many times when under stress I have been tempted to take additional Klonopin but stopped short of doing it.
Please accept my apologies if I have upset you or anyone else on this post.
