Both my wife and I have had opiate based painkillers for various injuries/pain issues, and I can tell you from personal experience, getting off them can be a mother. When you first take them, as soon as they hit- it's immediate euphoria. I can't quite describe it, but it's like all is right with the world. Then you come down, and all you want to do is go back up. When you're up, the pain doesn't matter. Your arm could fall off, and you wouldn't care- you're too busy "chasing the dragon". Coming down sucks, all you want to do is sleep. The pain comes back, the euphoria is gone, it's not fun. The worst part is coming off them. Now I don't know about Wally, but when I got off them, it was like the worst hangover ever. Sure, my whatever might not have hurt as much, but my head was on fire, and I wanted to vomit for a solid day afterwards. My wife has reported similar. THAT'S how serious they are, you're on them for not even a week and the DT's take over. Bad juju. I can totally see how someone would relapse even after 20+ years of sobriety- you never forget that comfort, that release- and it's always in the back of your mind. All it would take is one solid down day- or the need for something, to get right back on the horse.
I read another news story today saying he was recently split from his long-time partner and mother of his children.
Anyone think there just may be a correlation between the number of heroin addicts and the supposed "war on terror" in Afghanistan where are soldiers have been guarding poppy fields for the past 10 years?
Heroin use/abuse started an upswing right around 2002. Poppy fields under cultivation in Afghanistan are higher than they were before we invaded. Our soldiers seem to spend a lot of time guarding the crop over there and making sure it gets to market.
Are poppy plants really bringing that much money into the CIA?
berkeley you, CNN.
You're doing coverage on the death of a great actor and want to dish out the gossip of the specific details of exactly what drugs were in his system. Yes, we know he died of a drug overdose. We don't need the fully list of dirty laundry. I want to celebrate his great career not here the dirt of his final day.
I'll stick to enjoying NPR replaying old interviews of him with Teri Gross.

The CIA would never fly drugs out of Laos in their own private airline. Oh... you said Afghanistan. Completely different.
Am I the only one who thinks Woody Allen may have killed him to keep his tales of kid touching off the front pages?
In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:
Air America is still around?
By the by, I feel bad for any successful junkie who has managed to juggle life and a drug addiction and loses the battle. There are a surprising number of high functioning addicts in our lives and it sucks when one of them tips.
