Just Do It

[Coop67]

I had been taking as much as 1000mg a day Oc's all prescribed for a couple herniated discs. It started out with a few percs a day, more so to get high than anything. I would run outof my script and start buying others. It's a vicious cycle. I am an inch away from losing my job, a good job. I took a 4 day weekend kept myself dosed up with ambian the first 2 days and I am riding out the other two now. You will be surprised how your body will react to a cold turkey. I gotta be back in work tommorow, I am dredding it but what I seen what this addiction is doing to myself and my family, I have to stop. It;s not that bad, you have gone to ween down some if you are at the mgs I was on but you can do it. eventually you got to say today is the day, I am noy doing this no more and put it behind you. If you think that for one minute I don't think about the drug your crazy cause 90% is mental. I am fortunate my wife supports me allthough I don't think she really understand but she does not have to. She not the one addicted to this poision, I am. You'll have diarrhea, some shakes, feeling of craving but you have got to really want to get off it to go through with it.

Well said. It is so much a mind set. Especially staying clean.
