but isn't this how junkies take advantage of others? rather than giver her the benefit of the doubt, i'd rather go for empirical evidence, I'll believe the test. if the test is inconclusive take it again.

When I decided to quit the addiction I had to stop talking to my family for a while, I took myself to a rehab clinic they gave me methadone,I kept going to the clinic every day to get my dose and ones a week I have therapy,two years later I got clean and started going to the clinic only ones a month then I called my family and I didn’t have to tell them that I quit drugs because they noticed that by themselves, I gain weight back my face got life again 😊, trying to quit drugs with your family around is not fun, because if you just look different immediately they say I’m using, try to explain but they don’t believe you, so I get angry because I stopped using for few months but they don’t believe me, so I just go and start using again. Now I’m 5 years clean, but I still go ones a month to stay clean.

A lot of NA people would say that taking methadone isn’t the same as being clean, but keep doing whatever works for you brother

"The labs will give us the answer, so I'm not treating her for withdrawal right now sir. Please wait for the results before doing anything please. Ma'am your symptoms line up with withdrawal, I'm waiting for the test results before treating you for withdrawal unless you have something to say." I get it that drama is needed and his character, but just wait for the results. If she's clean it's needless drama, if she's using she's using and go from there. A simple fix would be to have someone say "Probably not a good idea to accuse a recovering addict in stressful situation without evidence."

“It’s my fault”. Yes, yes it is. Maybe you should wait for the results next time

There’s a big difference between addiction (substance use disorder) and dependency. Everyone becomes dependent with chronic use, but not everyone becomes an addict. A lot of people like to say “if you have withdrawal symptoms, you’re an addict,” but that’s pretty ridiculous. The DSM-V is clear.

Everytime they use a machine in the hospital it costs money to use it.

Doctors assuming everyone is seeking drugs is the reason I have no sensation in my left leg and am in constant back pain. I went to three hospitals in Toronto looking for help from excruciating pain in my left leg. They all sent me away with Tylenol. I had two herniated discs in my lower back and my Sciatic nerve was caught between them, getting shredded by shards of bone, for two weeks before they finally realized there was an actual problem. I had emergency surgery but it was too late. My leg is dead and the back pain is constant. I use marijuana to help with pain and nausea but nothing gets rid of it completely. This is my life now thanks to doctors who didn't take the time to listen and do their f-ing jobs!!

If you went to the ER, I can understand them just giving you medicine and sending you home, since it wasn't life threatening. However, if it was an appointment with a doctor, it is terrible that you did not get a proper examination

The husband has to get therapy. Sounds like she did some really dangerous and hurtful things when she was using and the constant worry of truly caring about an addict is difficult. But he can’t use his fear to bludgeon her with blame everytime life takes a left turn😢

She should have taken him up when he offered suboxone - it’s amazing, all the pain relief & no high! Changed my life of chronic pain!

I live and feel just like this woman and it is so hard. To be in pain all the time. Etc. Sigh.

@@seromiccyt4670eeehhh…close, but not so much. If there’s no structural reason for the pain to be there, her neural pathways have developed to make her expect pain, and to amplify it…the only thing it has in common with painkillers is that once they’re stopped, she feels that 100%, full force. I know this, because that happened to me. Even though they fixed the mechanical issue, my brain insisted that it was still there. It took several ketamine infusions to break that neural pathway.

My mother has Lyme disease and needs a double knee replacement, and they still don’t wanna give her any pain meds even though she can’t walk without any. Unfortunately people who abuse painkillers to get high are keeping people who actually need them from getting the medication. Think about that if any of you read this and are on opioids for fun. There’s so many people suffering because of that.

Pain is how most get hooked. Pain doesn’t keep you from getting addicted. They stop working fast you need higher and higher dose. It’s a mess! Canada doesn’t give them for crazy surgeries and they don’t have the issues we do. Everyone I knew that was on OCs had physical pain and got them from a doctor, she in this show said a doctor is who got her hooked on them. OxyContin was supposed to be non habit forming. Now they have meds to keep you from withdrawals. It’s a huge money making monster in America

If they could make a new pain medication that was non-addictive, and actually worked, that would be the best way to stop people from taking opioids.

This is true. There is no stopping people from doing drugs and opioid addicts are just trying to fight m psychological pain. What we need is a more well informed public and for the state to stop telling people what they do and don't need. We aren't children or animals though they seek to treat us as such.

If everything depends on the drug test results why not fkn wait until the results are read?

if you don't notice you've missed a dose, you're not in that much pain. Today I have the same pain as you, I can forget a dose and take it only when I get pain and realize I forgot it. But when I was at my worst, I can promise you that not a single dose was forgotten, all doses were taken at exactly the right time, around the clock. But I had side effects from my strong pain meds, so as soon as the pain was manageable on other meds I stopped taking the strong ones. Some people gets a very positive feeling of strong painkillers, like a rush, which makes them feel good, that's when you create an addiction, when you chase the positive feeling that the medicines give.
