Lol... come on Hang... I lived in rehab for months. You think I don't know crack heads?

My bad...it was the FDA and not the AMA.

I sympathize with him...addictions erode the will and fortitude of the sufferer.  So, they end up doing things they would not normally do.  Ergo, when he couldn't get his legal prescriptions renewed, he went looking for another source.

My dad did the same thing...except he bounced from one doctor to another to get what he wanted...if one drug stopped "working" he found a doctor that would give him what he wanted.  Believe me, I know all about medical concoctions.

Your arguments still do not address the fundamental difference between the two types of addiction.  To criticize one while suffering from the other is not hypocrisy, your protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.

Well Shuckins... yeah... lets be reasonable.

You are absolutely right:

"addictions erode the will and fortitude of the sufferer."

For sure. I mean, the thought of illegality and punishment doesn't even enter your mind. You are driven to medicate yourself - pure and simple. Above every other consideration. As if a matter of life and death.

It is what it is.

But I don't know many people who have this struggle, while at the very same time lambasting everyone else who does.

I know one person, now. Who else do you know?

I feel bad for your dad and hope he found the help he needed.

Rush didn't look for help until he was busted, a jailhouse conversion so to speak. He knew he was breaking the law when he asked, excuse me, ordered his maid get him a hook up, all the while he was preaching on the air about law and order. That's why he's a hypocrite.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I bow to your superior experience with the condition. I've never been to rehab as a customer. I have no knowledge of their behavior in captivity.

Whether my perception of the views of some of you is fair or not, I can't help but find the notion that someone's political views make their physical suffering more palatable to be repugnant.

rpm, thanks for the consideration shown in your last post.  Dad had gotten to the point that he seldom got up off the couch and did anything.  

Two years ago, he had his hip replaced.  The surgeon who removed the old hip said that it looked like a rotten stump.  The operation transformed Dad...allowing him to pursue a more active life-style.  He's nearly 80 and pretty spry for his age.  He has been weaned from most of his drugs and no longer suffers crying fits and stomach cramps.

He's enjoying life again.

Regards, Shuckins

Nope.

After going through rehab as a father I learned that an addict will say and do anything... absolutely anything; to get to a place where they can regain access to their favorite drug... and be 100% serious and utterly convincing in their lamentations and prostestations regarding their motives, before, during and after.

Tell me.. did rehab 'cure' your addiction.. or did you?

I couldn't have done it without rehab.

Never even knew those things existed until Funked pointed it out to me.

But man... saved my life.

Those folks know what they are doing.

Hang, I quit smoking almost a year ago.  

I think if you really want to, you can.  

The problem is the wanting to quit lol.  I enjoyed smoking right up to the last one... decided to quit kinda spur of the moment, and bought the nicotine gum to help with the cravings.  That stuff does work.. weaned myself off the nicotine gum by chewing regular gum.

Course... now I'm addicted to chewing gum :).  

At least it is sugar free.
