[iamgoingtodothis]

I am going to start weaning off hydro cod one and just wanted to talk to some people and how they did it or what helped.

I agree with all the above comments and I also am working on being honest with my self on why I choose to take pain pills and my triggers. I'm trying to replace those trigger moments with healthy options instead of reaching for the pills.  I also think keeping busy helps a lot. Everyone on this forum has been super helpful. Read and learn. :) good luck on your journey. Stay strong and look forward

Hi. What did u all do to quit? I'm just looking for someone that has been through it that I can talk. To to give me encouragement and just talk to each day as I do this.

Going into it with a good mental attitude will help alot! WD's are NO fun but often the FEAR is worse than the actual experience! Brace yourself for the "flu" and just take each symptom as it comes. Don't worry about what"might happen." Stay as active as possible and drink LOTS of fluids! As stated above.. Making up your mind and sticking with it really is most of the battle! Best of luck to you!

It helps a lot when you have your mind made up that you really want to stop taking drugs, I was prescribed Vicodin for 7 years weaned myself down a bit then went C/T, it's doable to stop and you can do it to, never give up & hang tough.
