I'm with both you, Ivan and Going, I cannot bring myself to tell my doctor to stop prescribing the pain meds, but what I can do is leave them at the pharmacy until the pain cannot be helped with tylenol (That's all I can take due to being on Coumadin).
I can get my refill called in next week, that's gonna be tough not to just automatically get those pills in my little hands, but I'm determined to put some distance there. I want to take the time to really see if my pain is physical or emotional and what kind of treatment that warrants.
