[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m partway through the confessional podcast, and my big question is WHY does he keep getting prescribed opiates for pain without very close supervision by a doctor and/or addiction mental health specialist? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. We already know opiates are highly addictive; so addicts need to be even more cautious. My one acquaintance who is sober avoided opiates at all costs (even dealt with a serious hand injury without them.) Current thinking is that most pain can be handled with ibuprofen and minimal
opiates. [/quote]

Of course. My guess is that these accidents are also only so accidental, if that makes sense.

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed and had to drive home after (lots going on including a new born and 2 year old) so they said Advil would suffice. Same with c-section recovery. It's better to be in some pain than open yourself to much much much more pain down the line.[/quote]

He had major surgery after the motorcycle accident; way more involved that wisdom teeth or c-section and, for the latter, I got an Oxy script for about 3x as many days as I needed. Also, remember that doctors may not have been as careful as they would have been because he previously didn't have an opiates issue (I realize an addict is an addict sometimes, but not all the time... and his previous issues were w/ alcohol and coke, which are pretty different) and had allegedly been sober 16 years. Also, he did have a distribution system for them and didn't just hold the pills himself, so there were some checks in place.[/quote]
