Remember about 10 years ago when Rush Limbaugh left his program and went to rehab for a few months? He was taking over 50 "downers" a day. And yet he had plenty of energy, lost a ton of weight, did his show every day on the radio, gave speeches all over the country and played celebrity golf tournaments all over the world.
You never would have known he was a junkie until his maid came out and disclosed that she had been the one getting him his pills for years.
Don't mistake the effect a xanax would have on your or me as opposed to the non-effect on an addict.
Keith Richards wrote and recorded some of the greatest rock songs of all times and did world tours while he was a full on heroin addict.
Addiction isn't like "partying".
If I took a couple of pain pills and washed it down with some Jack Daniels I would be FUCKED UP.
But a guy whose addicted for years? They could do that and not feel a thing, except "normal".

i'm quite familiar already. i live on earth too ya know.
unfortunately, i know more than 1 addict and have lost friends to addiction more than i care to remember and have been through rehab and recovery myself from pills, benzos, atavan specifically. i've lived in half way houses with junkies and methheads fresh out of rehab.
that's the primary reasons why i'm not going with anonymous doctor d the dealer ratting out Prince to a tabloid and am waiting on the toxicology report.
