As I read on another board, the woman in question who is going to be on Oprah will have all of 25 days "clean" by the time she appears. I'm sorry, this gets on my nerves. While I admire her admitting her addiction and trying to do something about it, 25 days is not very long at all. You might not even be past the full blown withdrawal symptoms by then (depression, etc.) If Oprah wants someone in recovery to speak on addiction to opiates, I believe she should find someone with some serious clean time under their belt and some perspective on addiction, not just someone who will complain about how evil online pharmacies made her addicted. Yeah, right. (sorry about the sarcasm, but I can't stand really newly sober people spouting off like they know everything there is to know about addiction, and how they would NEVER let themselves get into that again. Face it, this woman is still at risk, big risk for relapse.

And, oh, btw, I fully agree that Oprah needs to give equal time to chronic pain patients in this country, and what we have to do to get some small amount of relief.
