Open Question: Prescription meds on Holy Week?
Filed under: Painkiller Abuse

I’m new to becoming more religious. I’m Eastern Orthodox Christian, so our holy week is now and I’m fasting for the week for my first time. I know its strict against drinking alcohol, but long story short my best friend is leaving for a year and although he’s highly addicted to strong opiate painkillers (oxymorphone), I abuse them every now and then (around 5 times a month, I have strong willpower). I would like to snort painkillers with him today the last day I see him, but would this anger god or is strictly forbidden?
@Take these words: I told you, I’m eastern christian not western catholic. For us, easter is on the 15th, a week after western easter.
