Your ethos with Oxy is to be admired but unfortunately very rare.
I have had two friends, both addictive personalities, that were/are absolute Oxy junkies.
One went through the withdrawal which he said was horrific, twice. The other is a mess of oxy and other meds he has been on for 30 plus years. He probably took to much six weeks ago, fell and broke his hip and lied on the floor for almost 20 hours alone. I called in a wellness check when he did not answer my texts.
Just evil stuff. Edit: I missed your post Tobra, well written.
The issue to me was the abrupt termination , or severe cutback, of oxy as a prescription medication. The doctors got him hooked 30 years ago and then tried to stop the Oxy train over a chasm.
Great video, btw. I thank god everyday I missed the drug addiction dirt road in life. Like you FB, even after surgeries I try and limit medication intake.
