  • Former quarterback Ray Lucas started taking prescription pain pills to deal with back and neck injuries, and eventually reached the point where he was downing 800 pills a month. He talks about how his addiction began, the mindset of an addict and his decision to enter rehab.

      It's easy to get on board. At my worst i needed twenty 30 mg oxy blues a day. Id take more if i could too but that was just not to be sick. Now i manage my life very easily with suboxone. It's a crutch yes, but i have every aspect of my life back together.

      Good for you Brandon. I can tell my crazy story but I have a Great Friend who started partying on weekends and ended up taking 30 80 Oxy’s per day and about 300 10/325 Percs per month in between at his worse. He never played Sports. Had an Awesome Job and spent his whole salary and a lot more. He took 10 80’s when he woke up. 10 at 1 in the afternoon and 10 after dinner. He is clean 8 yrs today Married with a Beautiful Wife and Young Daughter. How he escaped it was a Miracle and he never got into heroin which he said was his next step. He was paying 60 to 80 a pill. Insane.

      Nooooo never take suboxone. The withdrawals from suboxone can last months. Way worse than any Percocet withdrawal
