What a very wise man!! That's a fantastic story to hear!! That must be one of the sanest things I have ever heard regarding pain medication and recovery.
It is so easy to get caught up in the idea that as an alcoholic/addict, I'm gonna start abusing my medication and I have to admit no one's ever said to me, if you don't take that medication you'll going to start abusing something else!
