"Opioids are insanely and ~~instantly~~ quickly addictive." Do you have a source for this assertion? I'm just a physician with a particular specialty in medically managed (as opposed to procedurally managed) pain, and I've never seen a "I took it once and was instantly addicted." I don't mean to undercut your subjective experience, but I've seen a few folks on pain killers, and if what you described was more common than "very rare", I would have by now.
