Correct use of prescribed med's in a situation like yours is nothing to feel guilty about - I know some people in 12 Step Fellowships condemn it out of ignorance but NA literature actually is supportive of medication use that is in direct accord with medical guidance and prescription.

I understand your dilemma because knowing what I just mentioned would not sit well with my need to be narcotic free - you will know if you are at risk of crossing that line but be assured that you do not have to endure pain unnecessarily.
