Today’s topic: I have sex with my doctor for narcotics Dear Steve, I will get right to the point. I have sex with a well-known Doctor in the Chicagoland area, for Tylenol #4 with Codeine. I take five of them four times a day and sometimes more, depending on my stress level. This doctor gives me as many as the law allows in my name and gives me more using three bogus names. There is not one person who knows this. I began taking them about ten years ago, when I had several–and I mean several–crises going on in my life at the same time. I don’t want to say what they were because everybody I know listens to your show and they will know it’s me. It hurts really badly when I try to kick this habit. Plus, I like the way the pill make me feel. I do know that I will die because of them, yet I don’t stop. I am writing your show for two reasons. 1., You probably won’t read this on your show, and 2., You guys will laugh and joke about me and make me embarrassed enough to try and quit. The more pills you take, the more pills you need to feel any kind of effect. That’s why I’m up to five per day. I am really, really talented and intelligent otherwise. Steve you are a God-fearing man. I am asking for a sit down with you for your help, please help. Anyway thanks. Please don’t say who I am on the air.
