Congrats on wanting to do this, it's tough at first, but there is a big prize waiting after-FREEDOM. Good luck and keep us updated. This is a great support group.
I'm at day 9 of cold turkey from 15-20 vics a day. I tried to taper, but it just did not work for me. Days 2-5 were very uncomfortable, but you can do it.
Read some of the other posts, many people are going through this right now also.
symptoms, chills, sweets, achey (achy), anxious, not much sleep, the list goes on, but is well worth the week or two of symptoms for a life of freedom.
you gotta seriously want it bad, if you are trying it yourself.often people do, then make the mistake of thinking they can handle it better the next time around. you have to surrender, to only begin down the road to victory.
I'm on day 9, had a very anxious day, but it is getting better.
Best to you
Yes, itis painful, by you can do this.
