I had three surgeries last fall and had to deal with pain meds. Here's what got me through it.

1. Had a friends in recovery accompany me to surgery.
2. Asked surgeon to only give prescription for four pain meds. Since I had pain, I didn't get high when I took them.
3. Called sponsor before/after I took each pill.

I'm sober 25 years and could still relapse with pain meds. I've seen it happen too often.
