I have to drive one point home that I'm not sure I've made clear as of yet:

I believe for some of the depressed population, long term opioid treatment with methadone or buprenorphine under the...

I'm getting at the disparity between, say, homeless street addicts and middle class housewife oxycontin addicts. They're both addicts, but the former is more likely to end up doing things that ruin...

This is true, and ties in strongly with social class issues and all that, you know?

Well yeah, opiates are physically addictive, so if you use every day even if you don't 'psychologically' need it, your body will start to need it.

However, i'd strongly argue that speed is MUCH...

When I read what Stephen King says this book is about, I immediately get deja vu about Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. The plots are different yet they feel similar to me.

Meyers Briggs Type Indicator?

That's the POINT though. Roland has to *accept* that he might have to damn the tower to do what's right if he ever wants to...

For methadone you have to go to a clinic every single day until you pass a bunch of urinalysis tests, then you get once a week or something. And they systematically make you jump through hoops the...

I don't like

Being cut off while driving. Even so, I rarely honk or anything, it's not worth the effort.

Typing in all caps.

Stomach flus

Holiday mail slowdowns

I posted in my intro here how I feel I relate to Eddie's plight with heroin because I'm an opiate addict too.

I'm addicted to opium/morphine. It's a challenging thing at times, you know? ...

I think Roland's choice to let Jake fall, and his mass murder earlier in the book, show some of his character flaws quite glaringly.

It was so terribly sad when he let Jake fall - I cried so much...
