Ya we can wish for people to get clean all we want, but the truth of addiction is, you feel you ARE going to die if you don't have the drug or whatever ails you. It's a disease like cancer is. You can't just get rid of it, it needs to be worked on and all kinds of treatment, and it is always there to relapse!!! I was in a very bad racing accident 10 years ago. I was driving a 1200 mini sprint, adn was running for the chamionship. I was in second place and made a desperate move in turn 4 on the last lap. I did a slidejob and caught his front tire with my right rear at full throttle. it sent me into the fence and through it to the pits, I had crushed my left knee broke my right shoulder, shoulder blade and right ankle. The steering wheel ruptured my stomach. I had 6 surgeries and The doctors had me on OXY 80s 40s and 20s 3 of each for the day. After therapy and able to walk again, the Dr's cut me off, cold turkey. I have been in Addiction Therapy for 8 years be 9 August 19th. Although I am using a thearpy regimen, I still didn't consider myself clean! Today I use the green stuff to battle my emotions, hunger and pain. It works just fine!!! I don't have to worry about what chemicles are in it, I don't have to worry about being deathly ill if I doon't have it, and a BIG plus is that I am ADHD, Bi-Polar and OCD, it has helped with all of those more than Riddlen and all the other useless anti psycotic man made drugs! So I feel her pain with the addiction, I know that you feel like you are going to die WITHOUT more than you will with. But in all reality, it is VERY VERY HARD to just say I quit. You can't just quit cancer can ya? I am mad at the people that were around her, they should have limited her drug use, or put her on Methadone (NOT METHAMPHETIMINES). At 40 mgs, she would have had an urge, but at 100mgs (because she was a heavy user) she would have been fine. I was on 150mgs and I didn't want CRAP!!!! It also got my life back on track. I feel so sorry for her that she didn't have the guidence I have had to turn my life around after drugs!!!
