I take percocet for pain too, Earl. I quit smoking for 3 years but started again 2 years ago (huge stress issues, thought I could smoke just one, HUH).

I have an addictive personality also. I just make sure I take the percocet as prescribed by my doctor. I don't take more than is recommended. So far, so good. We need to do what we have to in order to handle this lousy disease.

I am addicted to diet coke, coffee (decaf and regular), this board, chocolate etc. etc. etc.

Good luck Earl! I think you have enough other stuff on your plate right now. I wouldn't sweat the percocet unless you think you have a problem already. Just my not so humble opinion, again .
