  Repeated behaviors, habit + repeated thoughts, habitual + devotion = added something and said it (addicted). Maybe refresh on some self help texts that describe adding a meeting after coming from the disease. Dated pre-bias resolutions in treatment from dope prescribing surgeons.

  Its critical that legitimate pain patients NOT ADDICTS be centralized into collateral damage because of someone's addiction.

  So treating a CPP for addiction is gonna. Magically heal their pre-existing medical conditions responsible for causing the pain? AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE psychiatrist. Making Rx opiod guidelines. When you run around labeling CPP as addicts. It shows ignorance.

  Alcohol ruins more lives, causes domestic violence and abuse. Alcohol destroys marriages, family life and causes emotional trauma. Do we have an alcohol crisis?
