Jessica Cole

Ok I'm really sad to be writing this but I'm very disappointed at the first episode back. This episode is stigmatizing people who use pain medication for REAL pain issues. I understand that the character is sober but life happens & sometimes people who have struggled with addiction end up in a situation where they need extra help & this is a very real situation because they feel like they should be ashamed & then the shame comes from hiding it. This was an opportunity to write his character as coming clean & say I need this but I also need someone to help me with accountability. You could clearly see by the amount he flushed that he wasn't over taking the medication so why all the mirrors & self loathing. If you haven't guessed I am a chronic pain sufferer with 2 immune disorders that have eaten my muscle tissue & cartilage so literally every step hurts. We need just a little understanding
