Thanks Mike and Idgie.

I guess my question is that since I had to take the pain meds for the total knee repelacements, I feel guilty for now craving the medication as if I did something wrong. Mike, if you still have to take the meds, doesn't that cloud your sense of sobriety? You said on the days you don't need pain meds you think about them. How can you keep your sanity? It seems like a constant compulsion and craving going on in my head. I can use all the tips I can get right now. I tend to battle with Catholic guilt on top of everything else, so ....
