Will I Get Addiction For Oxycodone And Fentanyl Patches With Long Term Use?

I have been on oxycodone and Fentanyl Patches for several years. I do not feel any signs of addiction and they seem to control the chronic pain, but my sister insists I stop taking all narcotics. I have been followed very closely in pain clinics. What can I tell my sister to ease her concerns?
