There are alternative options to being on opioids. My neighbor was on them for yrs for chronic pain & various cancers. She’s 71 yrs old. She’s off all opioids. you just have to find the right doctors.

& as hard as it might be to admit, you too are addicted to your opioids. they’re made to be addictive. they stop your brain’s natural opiates from working, causing more pain making you need more opioids.

It's not pills killing them. It's the heroin or whatever drug they're shooting or snorting. Being houseless I have seen it. My daughter has a heroin junkie for a boyfriend who has ODed a few times because of heroin & what he took with it.

When is the war against ppl like me going to stop? When we're all dead too from committing suicide because ppl are doing & looking at the WRONG way to attack this? I'm someone with RSD/CRPS, a chronic pain condition. 15 yrs I've suffered because of ppl who make a CHOICE.
