  Just because your brother used opioids without a prescription is no reason to torture #chronicpain patients to the point #SuicideDueToPain is the only option. #PainPatientsMatterToo

  Addiction, stress, anxiety, depression they all have one thing in common, emotional suppression. So I can definitely happen to anyone. My suggestion is to prescribe the arts, dancing, cooking classes etc. create more healthy experiences on purpose in society

  There is physical addiction and psychological addiction. Seek professional help.

  If doctors can prescribe drugs to combat drugs, then we can prescribe the arts and other emotional activities to combat emotional problems #mysanctum #lawesoflife #selfcare #emotionalwellness

  Working with individuals, who suffer from the disease of addiction is part of my days and evenings. There need to be more money allotted to programs to do more.
