I did not watch the Super Bowl but Good L@rd, that was one of the most ridiculous commercials I have ever seen!
It’s totally sending the wrong message to a vulnerable population. In short, this group needs to get OFF opioids and take up a much more holistic lifestyle, including mind-body exercise classes and revamping their diets to eventually eliminate all processed foods. After they have successfully detoxed, they can take up more strenuous exercise, such as weightlifting and cardio.
If these addicts can successfully stay off opioids and substitute that habit for the above, they will undoubtedly feel like a new person by the end of the their first (sober) year.[/quote]
Yes… Sounds too logical.
When I told my friend this exact same thing, the response was “you’re talking out of your ass.”
People who are obese want to work out at the gym while eating the same things. They think that adding protein shakes and working out vigorously will do the trick. After the work out they are dead tired which causes them to binge eat, drink and pop more pain killers.
Like you said, you cannot talk sense into addicts.[/quote]I have found that you can’t win a “popularity contest” with these addicts and shouldn’t worry about being shunned by them. SOMEONE needs to say these things to them instead of constantly enabling them.
I noticed that the “protanogist” in the Movantik commercial was pouring straight sugar on his coffee at the breakfast counter … and he was apparently just starting his day! I believe that a diet of excessive sugar (as well as excessive starch-turned-to-sugar) is the root of so many evils including the root cause of and cause of rapid spread of several gastrointestinal cancers. You can tell me I am talking out my a$$ and I will tell you to fuel your own “sugar addiction” at your peril :=0
