ajca....
I too have had surgeries that required pain meds since I quit drinking in '89.
I took them only as prescribed and got off as soon as possible.,,I'm talking
about 4 days...even with eye and cancer operations.
I did not get addicted...and sorry that you did..
Had addiction from that been true for me...I'd keep asking my doctors about de toxing and yes..be in NA.
I am glad corrective surgery is possible for you...my retina disease is progressive and incurable.
