Don't know why I thought about this in the am today, but what am I going to do when I DO need pain meds???????
I mean I started taking them because of my back, under a doctors supervision, so what am I going to do when my back goes out and actually do need to take something.
Bulging/herniated disks in my lower back & neck and 2 back surgeries later..... God forbid my back goes out....

You would need to talk to your doctor and explain the situation. There are other pain meds that can be used even if they have to be used in combination. Take care of your back though and keep the addict from whispering in your ear.

Cross that bridge when it comes.My nephew had back surgery in sobriety and he deals with pain sometimes.Know your limits and take it easy.There are meds out there to take that wont mess with your sobriety.I cant take anything with codiene in it becouse I am allergic to it so I get prescribed tylenol 3.God will do for you what you can not do foryourself at that time.Just trust in him and clean house and you WILL win this battle.+

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

But knowing this I still time travel into the future on a machine I call Worse Case Scenario. So you might want toexplore non-narcotic pain meds such as Tramadol. I use that when my back comes back with a vengence.In any case I hope the best for you,healthwise and otherwise.--Mycool

Just For Today Tell yourself:
Just for Today my thoughts will be on my recovery, living and enjoying life without the use of drugs. Just for Today I will have faith in someone in NA who believes in me and wants to help me in my recovery.
Just for Today I will have a program. I will try to follow it to the best of my ability.
Just for Today , through NA, I will try to get a better perspective on my life.
Just for Today I will be unafraid, my thoughts will be on my new associations, people who are not using and who have found a new way of life. So long as I follow that way, I have nothing to fear.
