There are a variety of strategies for overcoming a narcotic addiction. For those who have iron willpower, the "cold turkey" method is the most successful; you just stop, and whatever withdrawal symptoms you may suffer will eventually pass, and you will no longer be addicted (although you may still feel the occasional temptation to back slide). If that is too difficult, people generally use some other drug as a substitute. Alcohol is convenient since it is available without prescription. You can certainly ask your doctor to prescribe something that will help you to overcome a morphine addiction. The problem with that strategy is that there is a high risk of becoming addicted to whatever drug you are using to overcome your morphine addiction. However, it might be easier to switch to alcohol and then gradually reduce your alcohol consumption to a moderate level. Nothing prevents you from drinking alcohol moderately for the rest of your life. Red wine even has real health benefits if you drink only one or two glasses per day (it protects against Heart disease). So that can work out.

Is morphine sulfate like Oxycontin?
Oxycontin is a synthetic manufactured MS. I have taken both for a condition I have. I will say I stay in reality much more with the MS. The oxy changed my personality, I am told not to the best. I think the pain relief is about the same. Tolerance is always a problem. The best thing is to STOP, I truly believe now that I have my pain is no worse. Now if you are taking them for other reasons than pain, then well....
