That's what I wanted, too, but it wasn't possible for me. I had proven over and over that I could not take narcotic pain medication, or any other type of pain medication that altered my mental state. And I had a lot of pain. So, I had two choices. I could continue on with the narcotics, dramatically lowering my quality of life and at the same time, drastically shortening it, or I could learn to live with the pain.
I always get the feeling that it's an unpopular position when I state it, but I'll do it anyway: You can learn to live with significant pain and be happy at the same time.
If you want to live a life not dependent upon narcotics, it is possible, but you have to want it more than anything. If that be the case, I suggest finding a therapist or guide who specializes in meditation and relaxation techniques and learn from them.
And if you haven't yet discovered NA or AA, they're worth looking into, too.
Peace & Love,
