hi there,
in my opinion i believe this post is written to take away the responsibility of the person who has taken advantage of op's and is using them as a excuse for continuing addiction behavior. there are bars on every corner, should they close because a person cant drink. do you sue tobacco companies because you made a choice to smoke and now are sick? we are all given choices in life and to bash op's because a person abused these sites, its on them. not the op's. how is this different than going to a dr in your town and saying you have pain and need medication. this person lied to get medications, its their problem, they lied and they need to place blame where it belongs, its people like them that ruin it for the true chronic pain patient who do not abuse the privilage of op's and comply with the requirements. i highly doubt if the above person who has the addiction goes into rehab and says op's made him a addict, true rehab counselors would say he has along way to go to get honest with themself. if i get fat from eating at taco bell everyday should i warn everyone to stay away from that establishment? grow up and take responsibility for your own destructive behaviors.

just my opinion
