We just discussed this in an AA meeting I attended last week. Some of the suggestions given were to tell your Doc that you are an alcoholic or addict, and find a "safe person" to keep your medication and give it to your as needed. If the doctor is aware of your problem they should only prescribe you the minimum amount of medication needed after your procedure. Having a "safe person"to eliminates the possibility of trying to take too much of the medication. Even after you are done with the medication it was strongly suggested to stay in close contact with sober friends and a sponsor if you have one. Surgery and healing can be very scary, but don't forget you have us here at SR, and we do care.
