[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know two people addicted. One has been clean for over 3 years got his life back and has resumed law school, has a fiance and doing well. It is a inspiring story.

The other is doing OK stills struggles (in 3rd rehab) but committed to getting well and putting this behind him. That is the key in recovery, WANTING to do it for themselves not for the parents, family, society,etc....

Addiction is a disease, not a choice. I cannot get over some of the comments here, so uneducated on the subject.

Purdue Pharmaceutical and the family who makes billions off of preying upon peoples vulnerability (when in pain) and furthermore those predisposed to addiction should in perfect world not be allowed to exist. It is sickening.

It is a problem that is getting worse by the hour. It used to be "certain states" now its every state and virtually every county struggling with how to deal with an epidemic that is by most accounts impossible to get a hold of. So scary.

Why do the other countries not have this degree of addiction? Not even close in fact. We are a substance obsessed country is all I can guess and of course that with the access and disposable income of the group most affected I suppose is a lethal trifecta.[/quote]

Perhaps our profit-driven, multiplayer healthcare system is part of the problem.  Doctors and hospitals benefit from happy patients, so they offer strong painkillers which end up getting people hooked.  Once they're hooked, they go to different places to get pills.  Is Canada having the same issue?[/quote]

Never mind.  Apparently they are.  https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/investigations/a-killer-high-how-canada-got-addicted-tofentanyl/article29570025/?ref=https://www.theglobeandmail.com&service=mobile[/quote]
