Thank God Bill and Hilarity never used drugs. Good thing Teddy Kennedy never had a substance problem that effected his, and his families lives. And praise be to God that Obama never tested the waters of illegal drugs. And of coarse we all know of Al Frankens dislike of drugs when he wrote for S.N.L.
And for Rush to admitt he had a problem and seek help, man that showed such week caricture. To tell the world you have a problem, and to get help for it...what kind of example does that set. Every one knows you have to deny you have a problem, no matter who many people die, or drown, because of you. It's the democratic way.

Used to listen to him. His stance on drugs was as hard a line as one could draw. He said "throw the book at them". Then we find he is a drug addict himself. Now the topic of drugs no longer comes up on his show. Anyone who was a regular listener knew his stance before he got busted. So while he was high himself he was spewing off about how evil drug addicts are. Zero credibility. None. The man is a liar.

There is a huge difference between addictions of
choice like heroin, cocaine, and meth and an
acquired addiction to prescribed drugs for relief
of pain.
I have known several people with severe back
problems who used the same drugs as Limbaugh and
very unintentionally became dependent, then
addicted to them. Usually the problem begins
when the person is trying to continue working or
resume work and needs to take another just a little
earlier than prescribed. They complain to their
doctor, who often prescribes a stronger pill to
discourage an increase in frequency. It becomes
a nasty spiral until something happens to force
the issue to a decision about getting off them.
A few I have known reached that point when they
knew it was important to enter rehab for anywhere
from two to four weeks because they knew they
could not do it on their own because the withdrawl
is so rough. It is sometimes complicated by the
abuse of alcohol and other drugs.
I do not listen to Rush Limbaugh often and do not
consider myself a fan or supporter, but I do not
feel beating him to death with what was a truly
unfortunate chapter in his life and comparing him
to addicts of drugs like heroin, meth, and cocaine
is a fair representation of what occurred. It
could happen to you.
Furthermore, those who use it against him only
diminish themselves by employing it as a weapon,
particularly when there are other reasons to
object to his claims of "broadcasting excellence."

<quoted text>I think what you said is dead on. I don't look at pain pills the same as I would crack. But I do know someone who after a surgery became addicted to viacoden(spelling?). She got so hooked that she began writting her own perscriptions. She eventually got caught 3 different times. She had to pay a price with the law and did some time in jail. Limbaugh got a hold of his pills illegally as well and aside from some bad press, escaped unscathed. The exact kind of escape that he loudly protested on his show. That is the problem I have with this issue. He is an addict and could do some positive by speaking in public about it. But he choses not to. He would not dare admit to his addiction.
