Why Addiction Keeps Pulling Me Back
NYT May 2018
Why Addiction Keeps Pulling Me Back
Video Op-Docs
NYT May 2018
This week’s Op-Doc is Paul Szynol’s “The Pull,”
a searing exploration of the inner life of John Bixby,
a New Hampshire man struggling with drug addiction.
Beginning just before Bixby’s release from jail,
the film follows his lonely journey
across the ghostly landscape
of New England’s opioid crisis.
As Szynol writes,
Bixby’s story is “an agonizing battle
between his desire to use and his stiff
but weakening resolve
to stay clean.”
The result
is a lyrical tale of hope and disappointment,
told without judgment,
with glimpses of astonishing
vulnerability.

Deaths
due to drug overdose
have topped a million
for the
first time
since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
began
collecting data
on the problem more than two decades ago.
A study
released Thursday
by the
National Center for Health Statistics,
a
division of the CDC,
found
that 932,364 people died in the U.S.
from
fatal overdoses from 1999 through 2020.

Synthetic opioid > Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a
synthetic opioid,
prescribed to help
patients
deal with severe pain.
Opioids help to
reduce patients’
perception of their suffering
and can induce a
state
of extreme relaxation and euphoria.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/03/health/what-is-fentanyl.html
Fentanyl is a
synthetic opioid
30-50 times more
potent than heroin
and 50-100 times
more potent than morphine,
according to
the
Drug Enforcement Administration.
Two milligrams is
enough
to be a lethal dose
for most people,
the agency says.
