My thoughts exactly. After being addicted, could he just go back to an occasional pill? Social use? Does not compute.
(Though the thought of a party with people 'socially' popping, snorting or shooting oxycontin does stretch the imagination somewhat. That sounds more like a 'shooting gallery'.)

That's the myth that they tell you, to keep you coming back for treatment. Sure, anyone CAN become physically dependent on something, but if his body his no longer craving Oxycontin, then he's no longer an " addict ".
And so what if he's using drugs or not ? What's that to you or anyone ? He's not hurting anyone , is he ? His body, his choice, right ?
Or does that only apply to murdering life inside the womb ?

What treatment would that be? NA?
It's a FACT! Rush Limbaugh is a blue pill addict!

You play that game all the time. You troll constantly posting things you have no intention of discusing and than bait people into insulting you with your unwillingness to engage in intelligent conversation.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

Yup, pretty amusing.
He's wrong, of course...once an addict, always an addict, just like alcoholism, but Rap will spew whatever's convenient when it comes to how he WANTS things to be. As to whether Limbaugh uses drugs or not, it's no skin off my nose; it's the hypocrisy that makes Rushbo ridiculous. A guy with his record judging others about marriage, sex, addiction, etc. is about as ridiculous as the Duck Dynasty guy spouting what's "proper" regarding sex, after dating his wife when she was 14, kicking her and their kids out of the house when she found religion and advising others to marry 15-16-year old girls. Simple as that.

I bait folks into insulting me, which otherwise they'd NEVER have done on their own ? Really ?
So, you're suggesting that these folks are like my younger siblings, who just don't know any better, and get all flustered. They can't help themselves, so lacking in self control.
I mistakenly thought I was conversing with ADULTS.
Huh.

Okay. In fairness, it doesn't matter if he's an addict or a hypocrite or ANY of that.
But, just so you know, you're underestimating the way that chemical addiction alters the brain pathways. Craving isn't just a result of the chemical dependency or a symptom of withdrawal, craving happens even after the former addict has been through the withdrawal.
While a former addict may no longer be physically dependent on their drug of choice, they still very much have cravings, as a result of chronic abuse tying into the reward pathway and rewriting the reward pathway baseline. And because the pathways have been so altered, if they succumb to the craving and start using again, they become chemically dependent again more quickly than if they were first time abusers. Not to mention that people who become addicts were more prone to being addicts in the first place, and may become addicted to something else in replacement. It's not a "myth" propagated by treatment programs, once an addict you are potentially always susceptible to being an addict again.

Oxycontin is an opioid, just like heroin. Chances are pretty good that monkey will be on Rush's back the rest of his life.

All I know is that anyone CAN get addicted, if they so choose to. But I find great hypocrisy in those who gleefully accuse Rush of being an addict, when I bet many of their own personal heroes and possibly friends, family members, have endured something similar.
Knowing anyone CAN get addicted, I've chosen to not partake of such substances. Even so, I still believe the human mind can over come damn near anything, provided that person really wants to do so. Even if you lose a leg, or both legs, doesn't keep you from being able to run a marathon. Yeah, it's a challenge, but certainly doable. Taking joy in claiming Rush is still and addict is like pointing to a amputee and laughing " You don't have your legs! ha ha ha ! " It's the lowest form of inhumanity there is, to be honest.

Well... Agreed, with the caveat that sometimes assholes lose legs too. Humans tend to be a wide range of both humane and inhumane, and largely dependent on whether or not they like or dislike the person they're directing that behaviour at.
I can hardly wholesale condemn the activity and the sentiment when it proves useful in my own attitudes and dealings.
Besides, we're all jerks, really, on some level or in some way or another. Despite being such, sometimes people manage to do pretty decent things.
