Hi everyone,

I'm booked in for a tonsilliectomy next year.

I'm currently 18 months free from opiate addiction and I'm really struggling with the idea of taking opiates again post op.

My current thoughts are:

Getting a staged script so I can only pick up one days worth from the chemist at a time

Keeping the meds at my parents house to remove my access to them

Or just toughing it out with paracetamol and NSAIDS.

Would love to hear thoughts from any other recovering addicts in the same situation.
