Ever notice most threads are about prescription addiction?

Just dawned on me. I'm on an iPhone and it's hard to search this site. So if this is the pill addicion section sorry.  
About 95% of the treads are about pain pills.  That's scary!  
This is a huge problem.  If you take just the posts here and figure how many people are struggling it's out of control.
Wow.
Anyway this site has been great for me but I'm still struggling
