Tales & Trails of a Traveling Wiseguy

On the topic of addiction, since you mentioned it.... It's misleading that one of the standard definitions of addiction is, "I feel I can't function normally without this." That describes everyone with a severe chronic problems who takes prescription drugs to treat it! But then people go tut-tutting someone who has, say, chronic pain, for being "dependent" on painkillers. Fool, you're dependent on air with 21% oxygen, how about you wean off that, too?
