[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two people on this thread and granted I have not read over every single post but they are really grating on my last never with their blatant ignorance.

One is the person who is continusiouly like ahound dog pressing for names of schools. Are you thickheaded? EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL has this problem. Why does a name matter so much when everyone who. knows will tell you it is present and alive in every single school.

The other jerk who keeps saying "its a choice". Please leave this thread, your venom and toxicity is not welcome.

My son had a skiing accident almost 4 years ago (young adult) got prescribed oxy.  You are talking a vibrant,health nut, college student, part time ski instructor (winter break) and an all around terrific guy well liked be everyone, full of life.

And YES JUST LIKE THAT he was hooked almost right away. Even after being on it for one week, he said the pull was like nothing he ever felt. As with so many he between still having pain and liking the feeling was prescribed more.

WAS IT A CHOICE TO WANT TO RELIEVE HIS PAIN? HELL YES IT WAS.

DID HE MAKE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO BECOME ADDICTED TO ANYTHING? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

There is a genetic component which few have mentioned and sure enough on my side there were two addicts (alcoholism) 2 generations back. It is a big factor (not always) in those prone to addiction.

It has been a slippery slope for a few years. He is finally in a good place, 2 years sober thanks to amazing outpatient treatment, a great support system, getting back to exercise and a wonderful therapist. It is not an easy road but when someone wants sobriety that bad, they will find it and achieve it.

Sorry to anyone going through this, it is an epidermic hitting our country very hard, EVERY corner, no socioeconomic group is spared.[/quote]

Glad he's doing better. I absolutely think there is a biological component. I am no angel (I like my wine and cocktails) but opiates do nothing for me. I've been prescribed them for pain and cough suppression and I hated the feeling. Other people clearly have very different reactions. [/quote]
