However, Hawk quickly turned serious about the topic and stated how painkillers could turn into an addiction. He termed it a “slippery slope”. Many young people easily fall into the trap of painkillers, and Hawk had a special warning for his fans. “I can’t implore enough for anyone out there, do not go down that path like if when you get hurt and you’re on painkillers and you just want to keep feeling like that, and it’s not about your injury anymore, that’s the time when its a problem,” advised the legend.
