yr definitely right about all of that. i know an older gentleman in this situation who says if only the doctor told him about the possibilities of addiction he never would have touched the stuff.
i wish you luck there. you seem to be on the right track with that stuff.
agreed. hopefully opioids for pain management will become a thing of the past sooner than later.
