I was on morphine for a bit over a week and even though got smaller dose for a week after i had pretty bad withdrawal- only at night though - as soon as turn off the lights i started sweating like crazy and had insomnia. i also couldnt eat anything.

It's one of the worst ones. Her doctor may refuse to operate on her if she doesn't get off the morphine first. Methadone used to be a common treatment for opiate withdrawal. I don't know if it's still used. Incidentally, nicotine (tobacco) is only slightly addictive. The tobacco companies have a vested interest in smokers thinking that it's highly addictive because that convinces the smokers that quitting is nearly impossible. If nicotine was as addictive as is commonly advertised, then nicotine gum and nicotine patches probably would be illegal or you would at least see clinics all over the place to help people get off their addiction to the gum or patches. There are no clinics because nicotine is not the extremely addictive substance it's advertised to be. She will probably need professional help to kick a morphine addiction.
