When you first quit using painkillers, you will probably get sick. This can be alleviated to some degree by your doctor giving you medication to soften the withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor may give you a medication that works in a similar way as a painkiller, but its purpose is to get you off of the painkiller, but you don't have to worry about any symptoms from it. If you are looking to get high at this point, you are going to have difficulty getting off of the painkiller anyway. Take your time at this point and work with your doctor and let the process take its natural course.
Once you have eliminated the need for the painkiller you will be relearning how to live live without being high constantly. You will need to eliminate associations with friends that use the drug for this purpose. You will also have to eliminate all things in your home that remind you of your drug use. Don't let yourself have too much idle time on your hands, and find some hobbies or projects to occupy your time. You will be so satisfied and glad that you quit the painkiller you will wonder why you became addicted to it in the first place.
Now that you have read this information on pain medication addiction, you can start working on getting better. Once this advice is put to good use, the future is going to be much easier to navigate. This is not an easy road to travel, and all the wishes and hopes will be of no avail unless you have the will and the ability to follow through with action and results. If you have people around you who can be of assistance in helping you to quit the drug, you will have a much better chance of being successful.
