Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.

I don't know about anyone else but both my wife and I feel like we get little effect from them. Such that it feels like the side effects make them not worth it. This is for all opiods for us. Now granted if you don't take them your just absolutely fucked but to us its like the pain is still there you just can like use the toilet and such. Niether of us gets why anyone can become addicted to them. Now like the ones that block nerve pain like gabapentin we fucking love as it actually seems to cause pain to go away.

People take more than they are prescribed at once “until the pain goes away” and yeah at that point they start to get high on them
