Do not give up. Most of us here seem to be in a mess, guess that is why we are here. Where there is breathe there is hope. All I do is the very best I can each day. I support you in avoiding a dependency on Klonopin. I am on a benzo and there is no way I can stop, only chance is a taper then protracted withdrawal. BUT I have a hunch. If you kick the pain pills, which typicallly have pretty short withdrawal periods, couple of weeks or so, then a lot of your problem may go away. NA is a good idea too. Klonopin, sparingly, a few times a week may not hurt. Unless you are like me. I was off 4 months once, took 2 mgs and went into full blown withdrawals 3 days later. We are all different though, and that is quite an understatement.
