No pain but loved pain killers, specially the more potent stuff, Vicodin is like aspirins for me. I'm talking oxycon or better. Opiates are very addicting. Benzo's do nothing for me accept what they are suppose too, but pain killers? It's like heroin. You can feel a euphoria so yes, very addicting. If your in pain there are alternatives to opiates for pain that are not addicting. You could try them and see how they work. But for serious chronic pain, there is no alternative and doctors weigh out the dangers of addition verses the level of chronic pain you are in and often have to go with opiates to relieve you of pain. In those cases docs feel the benefit out weighs the addiction.

If the doc decides to stop the pain killers you need to be weeded off it slowly.
