I have struggled for the past three years with an addiction to pain medication. It has been about six months since I have been clean but I recently came down with inflammation of my gallbladder.
I have had to start taking pain meds to control the pain and I feel all the old urges coming back. It is a constant struggle not to take more than I need and even when I feel I need the medication it is a struggle to know whether to believe myself.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to conquer a pain med addiction and how do you control your urges when you absolutely have to use for physical reasons?
