Well, perhaps better to be labeled a junkie than be labeled with a toe tag in the morgue...

However, that said, whether or not you feel labeled, you have to tell your docs. Keeping that avenue open, at least for me, would spell disaster.

And I also have chronic pain and am a cancer survivor. You wanna hear sucky? I can't even take ibuprofen b/c I am on blood thinners. But it is what it is and I am where I am because of my own bad decisions.

So, again, tell someone. Going at this alone is not easy.
