OMG!!!

Today is 15 days of NO MORE NORCOS and I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel Again!  I will never take another pain pill ever!  But I do have a problem the back surgery is not going as well as it was suppose to.  I go back in to get a shot in my spine on Mar 3rd the Doc told me it is a metal block and it gets rid of the pain in the first month then he wants to remove the metal in my back! I WILL NOT TAKE ANOTHER NARCOTIC!  Cause I DON'T want to go backwards. I want to stay clean! So my question is what can I take for pain that is not a narcotic any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! !

Back surgery rarely ever works so goodluck on that and I hope it works out for you!! Congrats on 15 days, now you gotta start watching out for your mind trying to talk you into relasping. Example would be because of your back you need them well my friend you don't. I had ACL surgery this morning and I'm in horrible pain but it's managable. I'm left with the choice deal with this little pain or deal with a whole lot of pain down the road plus an addiction. I chose sobriety and I'm almost 6 months clean off hydros
