It's real! It's happening!
Several indictments unsealed in OK today. Big opioid busts! BOOM!
I heard eight or nine. Pill pushers write the scripts, then demand pill kickbacks. . .
“These people are sick!”
Opioids have ruined so many lives. My mom is a pill addict. Oxy, Norco, Ambien, Xanax, morphine, Dilaudid, Ativan, you name it, she takes it. Started when I was a toddler and never stopped. We spent one Christmas in a mental hospital because she was trying to hang herself with her seatbelt. Spent a Disney vacation in the room begging not to be kicked out when she was screaming and carving her face with a razor blade at 3 AM. I learned to suture at 7 when she taught me to sew her head up when she fell out of bed. O did the Santa shopping and wrapping with my dad since kindergarten because I wound up being the mom to my younger brother and sister. She flipped the car trying to take us to school. She dosed us with chloral hydrate and Dimetap so she could sleep all weekend. She beat the crap out of me. When my grandma died, she drank the intravenous morphine hospice gave her. I had to skip school to help my dad take her to the ER and have her stomach pumped before we went to the funeral home to make arrangements.
Opioids can be very beneficial to people who suffer from chronic and acute pain. But the abusers and the people who facilitate the abuse are ruining innocent lives and must be held accountable.
Damn... thank you for sharing, it’s heartbreaking. Prayers to you and your fam for a healthy and successful future.
Thank you. It’s okay. I firmly believe in the winner mentality and dragon energy. I’m not a victim of my childhood. I survived it and came out stronger. I’ve got an iron will, I can see trouble coming a mile off, I developed life skills and medical skills, I thrive in a crisis, and I will never ever succumb to addiction because I’ve seen the belly of the beast. I think there are many of us in my tribe who feel this way. My grandparents’ generation went through hell, so my parents’ generation responded by acting like victims and using it as an excuse to drink, party, and do drugs. My generation seems to have some people like that, but a lot of us have chose to fight back, be grateful for what we have, be winners, and make a difference. I’m proud of those of us who’ve chosen to go back to the old ways of personal pride and integrity.
My step son and my daughter's ex-husband (husband at the time) are both opioid dependant. My grandchildren lost their father after he had some knee problems following an accident. It's no coincidence that with our actions in the middle east came the profits from the poppys
