A friend has back problems, younger dude, 30yrs, so they won't do surgery on him, diagnosed with herniated disks at age 27. The docs loaded him up with fentanyl patches, norcs, percs, and after about 4 years he got himself off it all and lives with the pain. Been without a script for 3 months. He still has urges for pills, all the time, and occasionally gets a few and feels normal again for a few days. Will he ever not have the urges for the pills? Anything natural help with the urges or physical affects of getting off opiates? He's a guy that's always been able to take things recreationally with no issues of addiction, but he's worried this might have screwed that up for him. Anyone know anyone that went through anything similar? Success stories? West Michigan here
