I guess I'm on day 0-2, having to definitely be clean for some minor surgery Friday. Getting sober this time seems a lot more authentic than in times past. I'm grateful to have an AA group, AND an NA group that not only tolerate me but are glad to see. To see I'm not dead yet so there is hope. I really do enjoy the sober life, and I will fight to keep it. This and much else I am grateful for.

Hey, Roy I understand brother I just recently went through surgery as well. I just celebrated 23 years clean and sober.
I am only speaking of my experience…. Only my opinion only….
I was so fearful of being put on any narcotics. I immediately told the doctor. I’m a recovering addtic and alcoholic. So he prescribed me 600 mg of ibuprofen and to be honest with you. It helped me immensely. I still had pain to it but I was able to manage without narcotics.
Yeah, I'll probably give the meds to a family member I trust. Me and Norco 10's have a long and illustrious history. Last time I had surgery they had me on IV drip Fentanyl, in the hospital. no, I'm worried about my current habits becoming obvious to the Dr's and am using this for some motivation to quit. I've found a group that has advised me to continue going, sometimes virtually, to the meeting. They really seem to care and that's not something I'm used too. I also like it about this app that I am expanding my sober community. Thanks for the response; I need sober people in my life. It's a big deal to me, communication. Healthy communication. Have a good one. Thanks...
