Subtracting all bullshit and tiptoeing, in the end, thats the only advice thats gonna work.

It's not 'advice', you don't simply become a 'junkie' overnight, similarly you don't stop
becoming a 'junkie' overnight either. It takes time, and yeah, 'Don't be a junkie' may
encompass doing things in order to change a junkie's ways. But those 'steps or things to
do in order to quit' are not suggested and apparent to somebody that is a junkie.


Yes the best way to quit is to quit, but there are steps involved in quitting, but
simply quitting cold turkey on some substances can cause death.


Death is a for-sure way to quit though.

Wahh my drugs will hurt my liver but I will eat them anyways and complain on the internet about it wahhh.  Accept the liver disease, love the liver disease.

You want more whine with that cheese?
I'm not speaking about liver disease in particular, I'm speaking about the fact that there
is so much APAP in pharmaceuticals that simply taking a few of them could cause severe
health problems. And this is reason enough for them to be recalled; since it's a social
public health issue.

Let's just say that I'm an 'actor' trying to make a point about the pharmaceutical industry.
I'm not high, I'm actually sober, so don't take my posts at face-value.
There is a reason why I sometimes post the way I do, and usually it goes unnoticed, but
they usually end up stirring up interesting off-topic discussions that end up being
enlightening to me about digital ethnography.

Will, willpower, etc. usually insinuates that we have 'choices' and 'free will'.
The debate about whether or not such a thing exists is an ancient philosophical debate
that is still argued to this day.

"Oh junkies lack the willpower..."

If you take the drugs as prescribed then there is no significant chance of liver issues.  They never prescribe one to take 10 5/500's at once.  Sure if you choose to abuse then you risk the liver damage.

You realize the 500mg actually is there for the people that take it as prescribed right?

Yea let's take out the acetaminophen just so it doesn't damage addicts livers. Screw the people that actually need acetaminophen in it to help for legit reasons.

because analgesia isn't the only effect of acetaminophen maybe?

The way I figure it is if they are too dumb/naive/indifferent to realize that taking over the prescribed amount can cause serious liver damage then so be it.

Why should prescription drugs be designed to help people abuse it without consequences?

What if that one pill kills them?  That person could have solved global warming!

---

If that one pill kills them, then I don't see why the "all in one" pill wouldn't kill them; they both would contain the same active ingredients as the "all in one" pill.
And I'm speaking of the people that use their prescriptions as prescribed.

The person that could have solved global warming was an example I used for caring about the
deaths of drug-addicts.

Way to take everything I've said out of context though.

I just think you are justifying your abuse of prescription drugs.  If you were not such a fiend you could have done a proper CWE, but instead risked the liver damage.

If you've read what I've said. You would know that I'm not high on anything, in fact I'm
100% sober; even from weed. I'm taking a t-break from cannabis until my next harvest.

I'm 3 days sober so far, and loving it. I have more vivid dreams during sobriety.

I don't use that graemlin either, but I think it's lolsy.

Yeah, a glass of red-wine is usually good for the circulatory system. I love wine, but
usually avoid it, because alcohol aint my thang. I just don't like the effects from even one
glass of wine, or one beer.

I prefer and green tea or oolong tea.

Different strokes.

SWIM - do you have a prescription? You said that you can go buy your drugs at walgreens... does that mean you have a legitimate prescription? If so, then why not just tell your doctor that your tolerance has increased and that you'd like pills with less APAP in them for health reasons?
