Tel your friends that you have a problem and that you need their help to get rid of it

Painkillers are difficult drugs to kick. Try weaning yourself off of the painkillers so that the withdrawal is lessened. There will still be symptoms but as time passes so will the addiction. Make sure that you are always doing something so that your mind doesn't have time to concentrate on your addiction.

My brother had a similar addiction and was told marijuana in small doses cuts the urge to relapse but it is illegal in certain states so only do it if u have a prop 15 card in california or what ever you need for legal consumption of marijuana
