I won't argue your self assurance with you. You're in too much pain for that to have any realistic effect.
If you've got a medical condition requiring pain management, quitting pain meds with no immediate follow-up with a qualified doc can be a prescription, if you will, for relapse.
Why are you opting to not tell your doctor about the situation?
