codine is so strange,when your addicted to it its like some pain preventoin habit ,you can pick it up easy in higher pop,but smalltowns do jot you name in the pharmacey,oh carrie i know it can destroy a lot.

I'm allergic to codeine...had it after surgery, made me so sick.

I like it that she admits she misses drugs instead of giving some BS line about how she no longer wants them like a lot of recovery addicts do.

BTW I had codeine once....yeah it's nice.

[lordpatrice]

i'd give her codeine for a blow job !

@ChuckyDoll10 Yea, I can relate to that! Opiates are a bitch to get off. Because of it Im on another drug called Suboxone which prevents withdrawals however if you stop taking the Sub's then you'll go into withdrawals. One drug for another basically, but Sub's are safer and I never crave for the Opiate's. You may want to look into it. W out insurance its expensive as hell! I get 90 a month and the full cost is something like 671.00!! But I have insurance and pay 50 co pay.. Good luck

@Agent1W - You're telling me. I'm not dependent on alcohol, but I used to take codeine to ease the pain after football matches on the weekend and I became dependent on it since then. It's very easy to get hooked on it, but I certainly am not making light hearted humour conversation out of it like Carrie is here.

She seems almost proud to admit she is or was codeine dependent. You ache if you don't take it, even if there is no reason to ache.

@ChuckyDoll10 What I really meant was why Carrie Fisher had to rely so strongly on a drug. From being a kid up until now, I would have never wanted that way. I really liked her that much. It's bondage to be addicted/dependent on a drug, not freedom.

@Agent1W - Ok matey. So are you questioning the importance of discussing the alcohol and drugs with her? If so I agree. But trust me, alcohol is very easily abused in all levels of society, I know because I have acted like a dick on numerous occassions due to alcohol and I always feel like a proper dick in the morning. So if what you mean is that it is questionable as to the importance of bringing it up on an interview, I agree with you.
