Fear of Pain Medicine

The doctor has stopped prescribing the Tridural.
Now I have to take Arthrotec and Effexor.
I am in pain every day now, and worry about what I can do to alleviate the pain without becoming horribly dependent on painkillers.

I am an alcoholic and addict in recovery (13 yrs sober approx) and worry that I will fall back into old habits.
The one difference is, NOW I only want relief from the pain, I don't want to be a zombie.
Please help me, if you have any suggestions, I don't want to take narcotics, but I fear that if this keeps up, that's where this is heading.
