Maybe, MAYBE I could have justified two. Take one on the first day because it really wasn’t the most pleasant feeling, and maybe one the next day.
Take a shot of whisky. Smoke a joint. Have an Advil. Or just don’t be a ##### for 24 hours.
Don’t take the heroin.
I left the scrip in the doctors office - never occurred to me to get it filled.
TLDR; opioid overprescribing is a very real problem that doctors need to take responsibility for.
