Need Prayer-Just Had Surgery

[madison1101]

I am asking for prayer from people in recovery. I had a problem with Percocet, which was legitimately prescribed for herniated discs. So, I found a Suboxone psychiatrist, covered by my insurance, and have been on that for six weeks. He told me I can take Ultram, while on Suboxone. I am extremely tempted to go off it, and ask the surgeon for Percocet again, because of the pain. The Ultram is barely taking the edge off it. Please pray for me to be strong and not give into the temptation to go back on a drug I know I already have a problem with.

Thanks,
Trish

I used to have a problem with Vicodin due to chronic pain. I have been off of it for many years. But I am always concerned whenever I experience pain. I have had surgery, and I usually ask for something else to take. One time I simply could not bear the pain, so the surgeon gave me a few days worth of percocet, which I found to be more than adequate. My wife held me accountable and, as soon as I could bear with something less powerful, she threw the rest of it away.

If you need something stronger, have someone administer the meds for you or hold you accountable, so that you will go to something lighter as soon as you can. And the remainder needs to go down the toilet, not in the medicine cabinet.

Give our Sister stregnth Lord. She is willing and You are able. Amen.

Hang in there Madison. GFU to have the courage to ask for prayer when in need of
encouragement. Here's a girl on her way to healing and who has been a good example of 12 step success.

Just goes to show we are all human and need each other. Our Lord desires us to help
one another and is eager to pour out His blessings on us. I will continue to pray for your speedy recovery and for God to grant you this victory.
