    We have to work together across all sectors to address the #OpioidEpidemic. We need to break down stigma. We need to address the onset of addiction. We know that addiction is often a product of suffering. @NatlAssnAttysGn

        But dont punish the injured whom choose not to be a statistic! I have 7 permanent injuries, now handicapped & I have to fight for alternate treatment & my EARNED disability. I have been working since 1988! If I was an addict everyone would be handing me everything.

        Govt doesn't understand that #opioids help millions of people in #ChronicPain lead productive lives. By having our pain managed, we're able to work, raise families and engage in life. We are not the ones who OD yet we're the ones targeted by overreaching policy! Balance is needed

        Addiction is more a result of poor choices, and a need for MORE SUPPORT SERVICES to guide venerable persons in making HEALTHY CHOICES !

        Pls remember that less than 5% of those prescribed opioids for pain become addicted. Yet #ChronicPain patients & their doctors are being targeted. Pls stop assaults on patients who want to lead productive lives & the drs who prescribe responsibly. #CDC guidelines need to go!

        I was surprised to see the last surgeon general calling addiction a disease. I tried to help him, but he chose the business in a box executive route, instead of opening some common dictionaries. Opioids are synthetic opiates, epidemic solved.

        Sometimes government employees read like: don't drink alcohol with anti-depressants, but mix anti-depressants with major tranquilizers.

        Replying to @CaptivePage2of3 @Jonathan91604 and

        Jonathan, I am seeing a lot of 'over thinking' in your diagram. Try more ACTION, more ACTIVITIES. Be happy with your abilities, accept your limitations, in the variety of God's creation. Focus on the things that make you smile.
