This is one among the many sad stories of addiction. Many people of all walks of life get started on pain pills due to some sort of accident. Doc. gives u pain pills. Soon after some months go by those aren't strong enough. Then the Doc. give you stronger meds. eventually they no longer work. Doc Tells you only thing left is an operation. Here's where it gets tough. Do the opp. Hope it heals the problem. Pray u wont b in such terrible pain afterwords. Some opp. work and the people live a pain free life or  least manageable pain without narcotics.Unfortunately many opps. do not turn out so well. Now Ur layed up for awhile and on pain meds. Now the doc keeps u on Ur meds for awhile, then one day he cuts your meds down and down then cuts u off.  Now Ur hooked, gotta have them or u cant go out and b a productive person. now you have bad quality of life. Here is where some will bite the bullet and go cold turkey or rehab. Maby start finding other docs. that write. Or somewhere down the line end up in prison. For many this will b their fist experience  in a state or federal prison. Going to jail a few times is not like the Penn. Sorry for this long winded reply all I'm trying to say is many times addiction from pain pills start legit. I will most definitely be praying for your brother Josh.

Thanks,
Darren

Thanks everyone. My brother said he prayed the other day and it was the only time in his life when he meant it. He said some Christians were in a group and one was reading Scripture and he said he felt something from it. Hopefully the Lord draws him. He admitted that he can't ever do the pills again. Thank you for all of your prayers.

That's good to hear. 

Yes, Darren.  Painkillers/painpills/narcotics are all addictive and typically opiate (heroin) based.   
Truth281, since the painkillers your brother was peddling weren't NSAIDs, like aspirin or ibuprofen, he was basically addicted to heroin --not to sound argumentative.  I know you're going through a tough time.  I'm sorry.

Listen, I was given synthetic morphine in the hospital during my labor with my youngest daughter.  One minute I was depressed and anxious knowing what I had to face.  But as soon as they gave me that morphine, I had not a care in the world and I loved everyone!  In absolute heaven.  Afterwards?  Oh boy.  I requested my doctor give me narcon so I could be "there" for when the time came to put my baby in the arms of her new adoptive parents.  It was the worst withdrawal and I'd only been on the morphine for 2-3 days.  I can totally see why people get hooked on heroin/opiate painkillers.

God bless your brother.  I feel for him.
