Some churches that love strong holiness preaching get tight when you get after this sacred cow.
A desire to avoid the possibility of these kinds of addictions is the reason I refused pain killers in 2000 when I broke my neck, back, and ribs in an accident.
The doctors told me I was crazy, but after my initial treatment in the hospital, I never filled a prescription for the narcotics that they prescribed me over and over again.
They would write out the prescriptions and my wife would say, "You're wasting your ink. He will throw it away as soon as he gets home."
The doc would smile condescendingly and say, "Oh, he will fill it." But I didn't.
And after almost two years of suffering in faith, God healed me overnight. To Him be all the glory.

Coonskinner,
Are you saying that you preach against the use of prescription medicenes or do you only oppose the abuse and overuse of them?
Why did you feel it would be wrong to take pain medicene when your neck and back were broken? That does not seem reasonable to me. I am not trying to be contentious but that is my honest reaction.
