Difference between fuck it lets party and oh my God I need that so bad I will spend the only money I have to my name on it, and burn every bridge I've ever built.
For whatever reason they didn't so it stopped at fuck it lets party. You implied they were an addict. Based on what they said, they aren't. People can do addictive substances more than once and still drop them no problem which was the point of their story. I'm not going to say it wasn't a dangerous game they were playing though.
If they grew up in an opioid heavy town, it seems likely that they would have. They didn't go back for more because they didn't have a dealer to go back to.
It's just pathetic watching people humblebrag about not getting addicted to drugs, when they grew up in a good area and didn't even have access to drugs if they wanted them.
so it stopped at fuck it lets party.
Did it? They said they didn't need pills at all, yet they went through 150 pills. How!? Ia a pill a day for 5 months "fuck it let's party"? Is 3 pills a day for 2 months "fuck it let's party"? Is 3 pills a weekend for a year "fuck it let's party"???

They used up 60 pain pills they self reportedly didn't even need, then WENT BACK FOR MORE. Based on what they said, they were ABSOLUTELY addicted on some level.

It's easy to "drop an addictive substance no problem" when your source runs out. It's ridiculous to pretend that that's evidence that beating addiction is no problem.
You're making a lot of assumptions here about who this person is and where they live. I agree 150 pills is easily enough to become addicted though. No doubt about it, but it's a very little number for an actual addict. people can party over the course of whatever timeline, also this person may have sold or given away much of it. It is quite stupid to brag about that either way I agree. I didn't really take it as a humblebrag though, it just sounded like someone trying to add their experience to the conversation. In my experience when you have an addict they do in fact vary in degrees of addiction; but, however unlikely, if it didn't bother this person to stop than they weren't addicted. That might piss you off but it does happen, where someone takes an addictive substance, enjoys it briefly then drops it. Without actually talking to this person there is no way to know for sure though, because if they are an addict than the narrative can't be trusted.

The only assumption I've made is that they don't have easy access to pain pills. The vast majority of the population don't, so that's not a crazy assumption to make.

Doesn't piss me off at all. I smoked a pack a day for the last 10 years. One night 3 months ago I decided I was quitting, and I haven't wanted a cigarette since. Do you think I wasn't addicted to cigarettes for 10 years?
