I'm so impressed at how smart you are about what you really need, and you know it's not the pills. At a young age, you're doing what I should have done. I wasn't addicted at your age, but I sure sampled everything that I could get and abused many substances. Because of health problems, I now find myself an addict at age 53. Wish I was as smart at your age.
Another thing you did that impresses me...you called your doc ahead of time and explained your situation, rather than wait til your next appointment, and maybe talk yourself into not telling your doc "just this one time." When I decided I had to quit, I called my prescribing doc, plus my PCP, even my dentist...just every doc I knew that I could possibly get narcotics from. I even went to my local ER and Convenient Care (where I had doc shopped) and had them put red flags in my files.
So...let me say that you're doing great, and keep it up. Reach's advice about not going back to square one was right on the nose, and I'm so happy you're smart enough to listen and know what's best for you.
Take care, keep updating.
