Like what screamed bullshit to me about the James Fry book, which I loved, was he did not have all that dental work without anesthetic.
That doesn't happen.
No one does that.
No one should be expected to do that.
Addicts shouldn't be expected to do that.
love putting the responsibility on the doctors, if I'm being honest.
But I'm in an addict community.
The responsibility is mine to say to the doctor, hey, I'm an addict.
The pills should go to my wife.
This happens in the program all the time.
People are responsible for other people's pills.
As long as you take it as prescribed and as you're supposed to, you're fine.
So that's on me going in to go like, I should never be holding the pills.
If there's some range of how long someone should be on these pills, I should be on the shorter end of these pills.
But I don't think it's fair for the surgeon to take on and understand your level of addiction.
My dad died 28 years sober.
He had many different bouts of being on opiates.
It never got him.
There wasn't a thing for him.
