He was not taking the drug for a high, but only to relieve back
pain.
That doesnt mean he is not an addict. Kids take drugs to releive the
social pain. Whats the difference??
Street drug users use the streets to get the street drugs they use
(purse snatching, stick-ups, break -ins, muggings, etc.). Limbaugh
became addicted to Vicadin -- one of the /most/ addictive drugs
around, BTW -- and /allegedly/ "doctor shopped" to obtain
prescriptions.
Middle America is very addicted to all types of things, some come from
the 'street' and some come from Walgreens. The money used to buy drugs
were not obtained from the 'street' (purse snatching, stick-ups, break -
ins, muggings, etc.) but were earned from either a white or blue collar
job.job
Everyone thinks of the sterotypes we see on TV, where the 14 yo black kid
thumps a little old lady to get her monthly govt check, so he can buy
some 'good [censored] man'
Vicadin is an opiate, while addictive, (get 'hooked' after 2 to 3 uses)
crack is the worst (hooked after the 1 usage)

Still, addiction is addiction and he indeed became an addict. Got in
some trouble and cleaned up his problem; that /ought/ to be admired,
not ridiculed.
I sure it was dificult to get cleaned up. He deserves all the credit,
but the real question is, "Can he stay off it?"

PS: He didn't drive off a bridge and leave his mistress to drown. Or
nearly run into a squad car at 3 AM. Just a thought...
