I have a progressive, painful disease in which I have taken numerous pain meds.

Over the years I have built up quite a tolerance to all the pain meds. I also have had trouble with addiction to these meds. If I don't have them, I don't think anything of them. If I do have them, they are gone. I finally quit taking all narcotics about 8 months ago and have endured the pain from my disease. My fear is that post op I will become highly addicted again. Has anyone had this same problem. How did you handle it?
