[He could tell a half-truth here to try to make himself sound better. But Stephen's distant enough from these choices that he no longer wants to defend them, and he's never been good at keeping secrets.]
I started managing my pain with the pills Tony had given me for safekeeping a while back--I think you knew that. When I broke my hand I did it knocking some of House's teeth out after he stole them from me -- I don't know how, but I know it was him. After that, when I told you I was detoxing, I was on a tapering dose up until I died.
Either the revival process took care of the withdrawal symptoms or they passed during the amnesia. I'm sorry I lied to you, John. But that's where the supply stands now, and why. House is probably sitting on at least a month's worth as we speak.
