I think the problem is not the addicts/abusers, the problem is the faulty reasoning which makes certain busybody people think it's their job to force everyone else in the world conform to their personal opinions about life. They try to control what is not appropriate for them to control. People should just butt out of other people's lives and let them make their own decisions about things that affect them alone, and let them deal with their own consequences, i.e. "Live and let live". It might sound simplistic but I do think the world could be a much better place generally if people could just understand this. Hank

@jesfactsmon eloquent words as always, Hank

I hear you there, Hank. Now, how do we manage to get opioids to control pain? I have a small, dwindling stash which I draw from only occasionally and they help me feel a lot better. I just take one on any difficult day since I don't want to run out. After about an hour I realize that I don't hurt anymore and that lasts for about 4 enjoyable hours or maybe longer once the pain is muted.
