new plan

[walurs1201]

Ok will I have figured out how to open are safe but I spend last night making a new plan there is a safe in the safe that you have to have a key for and my husband is the only one with the key and he will not give it to me so I am locking everything in there and trying to see if I can quit before my surgery I truly want off these but my addictive personally won't let me I have prayed and cryed so know it is time to take the steps it is just so hard cause it still hurts

If you have a safe within a safe, and your husband has the key, then you are set. As Vicki said, have him give you, now AND after your surgery, only the daily amount needed. And, you can have him count the meds to be sure that you haven't been sampling. He'll do the math daily and keep you on track. You should also tell your doc, if you haven't already, that you're having trouble with opioid meds (or really, just be honest and tell him/her that you're addicted) and ask about an alternative for pain.
If you keep your secret you will end up relapsing behind it every time.

My husband does hold my pills and gives them to me but I was scared cause I learned how to open are safe myself and I have a very addictive personally but I truly think that I can not quit until after my surgery so I am going to start planning now to get everything ready I am truly hoping that I can start my frist day clean very soon I spoke to my work comp nurse yesterday and she said that they will help me with rehab if I need it and pt and quiting smoking so I very happy about that they said they would make sure that I get my life back back to the way it was before I got hurt and that makes me very excited

I agree. Why don't you give the pills to your husband to control. Tell him the maximum amount for each day; like 4 and tell him to give you only that amount no matter what!!

Then get your plan together after you've recovered from your surgery.

So then don't.  Make the plan to quit after you've gotten through the first week or so after surgery.  Get a good plan in place.  And like I said, make sure you're taking only just enough to get you through.  This doesn't have to be a race.  You need to be well first and that means getting through the surgery successfully.

I am starting to think the you are right cause this is very pain full and as it has been said that amount I take is not that bad but I do not want to go any more then i have to

Honestly, walurs, and I never recommend this, but I think you're trying to quit too soon.  You need to get through your surgery and take the meds AS prescribed.  And then begin your road to full recovery - this just seems like really bad timing to quit.
