Exactly. 1 out of 4 is a fucking lot of people, and I know that the first time I tried opiates, I hated it. It made me sick and nauseous. So now I'm in the 75%.
After an injury, I ended up taking some off and on for a few weeks, and after the first few times, it changed my mind completely. Within a week I turned to the 25%. I went from hating it, to using it so some pain would go away enough that I could eat, to loving it.... then the constipation happened.
So initially, I was in the 75% category, but once I had done it (oxys) several times in a row, I pretty much became addicted for a few months.
Nothing like the first time trying to shit after a few straight days of taking opiates. Fucking constipation and all the blood from when the shit ripped my ass apart when it finally came out, and I couldn't sit straight for a few days.
Sitting on the toilet, crying with a towel in my mouth to keep my screams from coming out, that's when I realized I don't want to abuse opiates anymore. It was a very sobering moment, as bad as it sounds, I'm glad it happened before I got real deep.
Opiates smacked me right in the face and made me it's bitch within weeks of the first time I used it. Now I use them if I actually need it, which comes and goes. It's hard for me to use it multiple days in a row after that incident.
Everyone else I talked to about opiates hated it initially, but if they tried it several more times, ended up liking it too.
I bet a lot of people who tried it, were like me and got sick from trying to much the first time, but if they did it a few more times I bet they'd like it, also bad constipation story :'(
