Capp,

I hear you. But I say take the pills. My addictions Dr. always tells our group that if you are taking narcotics as prescribed by a Dr., and taking them exactly as prescribed, then you are not abusing them and have not relapsed.

Not taking the pills is likely to delay your recovery which won't help you or anyone else.

I understand your fear, after the thoughts of getting high and wanting it. It may be a long time for you since you've last thought of getting high, but I believe the impulse is always there lurking. But from reading your posts I sense that you're pretty solid in your recovery and so a medical procedure, even if you enjoyed it, shouldn't be regarded as a slip. Maybe think of it as a wake up call to be attentive to things like this.

Just my 2 cents.
