    If he's addicted he's gonna lie cheat and justify his way through it. Rehab is tricky and only the ones that offer non-buprenorphine treatment are legit. Don't trust any rehab doc that cannot outline a very brief and concise calendar of tapering and jumping.

    Sadly most opiate addicts need to hit rock bottom or be faced with losing stuff that means something to them before they commit to quitting for real..

    So basically it ain't good at all.

    I'll take that advice to my mom Cruds, thx.

    I won't lie I used hydrocodone quite a bit years ago. It got to the point where I was using every weekend. It was a good mix with a bit alcohol.
    Throw them back with grapefruit and vodka and hit the bars. It ain't a bad feeling at all.

    It went on for months. The guy I got them from worked with me and he was a heavy user. Snorting lortabs left and right.

    I never got addicted I guess. I just decided I didn't want to do that anymore.

    It hit me when a group of us took a trip to the beach one summer and everyone in the car started swallowing benzos and opiates while we were riding down the interstate. I'd had enough. I got out of the car about 30 minutes out of Knoxville and called a better friend to come get me.

    I still swear the only reason I haven't "made it" yet as an actor is because I don't do heroin.

    Time to start, I guess.

    I could probably fill in those vince vaughn type roles for actors who looks sleepy all the time, My dark circles under my eyes could mean fame and fortune! ...and probably heroin.

    That is why I laugh about this story I read about opium production in Turkey. Turkey used to be one of the world's biggest illicit opium producers. But now their opium production goes almost exclusively to "legal" drugs.

    But I think to myself how many of those legal opiates end up being used illegally.

    In any case it is a catch-22. These drugs are needed but they cause so much damage.

    In that article on Fentanyl I posted they talk about people going in to the doctor and putting on Hollywood type performances with doctors to get prescribed the drugs. My mother is a dental hygienist and she told me about this biker that asked her boss (The dentist) for a prescription for Percs after he got a filling.
