I just can not quit, feel like it is taking over my life

I have been addicted to oxys for a few years, I have tried to quit a few times, cold turkey, through detox, even tried lowering my dosage, I feel like this is taking overmy life and job, I don't know what to do, It gets worst each and every day, my tolerance is up to 10 80's a day, I do not want methadone, as I beleive it is swapping one drug for another, nothing against methadone sounds great but just not for me, I need suggestions or advice on how i can get this done, I do want to quit, just have run out of ideas

That is amazing motivation in itself. I say take the three weeks, start the process and don't look back. You sound smart and that you can really do this. However, I would do it under your physicians care, you sound like you don't want to go to your doctor because he may dismiss you as a patient, therefore not prescribe you the meds no longer....that is what you want, a doctor that WON'T give you these meds. Good luck, and start the process!! Win her back!!

I checked into a rehab, they are 3 months or more, I can do a detox but from what I was told when I called I can do the same here, They recomend some of the stuff my friend is going to give me to do it, but don't allow a couple of the items into the detox as they don't beleive they should be used. I have looked at all the options, the only one for me is to do my detox at home after I get down to a much lower dose. I am not sure myself regarding the coma detox, some people swear by it some people say it killed family members, so I don't think I will do that option. It will take me time just to get my dose down to a safer level to detox from. Someone said that I could try from 5 80's but that is still a lot and my detox would be horrible.So i think I will wait till I am down to 2-3 a day, seems impossible sometimes when I think about it, but as I said this I want more than anything in this world, and if I can't do it, I don't know what I will do honestly

I received the private message and did respond to it, as for my wife, I do not have the option of getting her back. I am doing this for myself and only myself, I am tired of my life and what I am doing daily,I feel real low some days at what I have done and am doing to myself,For gutsnglitter, I know the feeling of it not being able to get any worse, I feel I am at bottom, I don't think I can get any lower in my thoughts of myself, and thank-you for your wishes, I hope I can do it also, if not I don't know what I am going to do. I checked a little further on the coma induced coma for detox, and it is expensive but not just that there have been deaths associated with it and not very successful, so I do not have any options left besides this.
