Everyone is prone to opioid addiction and overdose. If you got a prescription for Oxycontin and had no trouble weaning yourself off of it, you should consider yourself lucky, NOT special

That's like saying everyone is prone to be an alcoholic or a marathon runner. It's possible for anyone to end up with either of those conditions but I know a lot people who've run a 10K and then literally walked away from it.
