I've never been in a situation where I needed anything stronger than 
aspirin but I live in fear that I will one day have some kind of 
accident or illness that necessitates some serious pain relief. I will 
want to resist taking them under any circumstances but I feel sure that 
if the pain is really bad, I'll clamour for relief and the doctor will 
give it to me. According to the video, it's EXTREMELY hard to kick 
opiods because you're in incredible pain if you DON'T take them when you 
get a craving. I don't know if I'd be strong enough to kick it then.
