surgery

Hi all,

I am a recovering alcoholic, and a friend of Bill W. My sobriety date is 11-25-06. I am having a partial knee replacement done on 9-29. I have been taking vicodin at night to allow me to get up and down stairs. My doctor is aware of my alcoholism/addiction history. I feel too guilty to continue taking the pain medicaition untill surgery, because although it helps greatly with the pain, i can't deny that i like the way it makes my head feel. Sponsor thinks i am over reacting . my husband (also in recovery mangages the pills and will after surgery). I need some more support so i am here. any words of wisdom out there?
