No more taper. Cold turkey

Hey everyone. I wrote my story on my other post. I have 8 pills left to taper with. With all the support I received a comment hit home. I am delaying the inevitable. I am already feeling withdrawal symptoms, so what am I waiting for?? I have everything I need for withdrawals, but my hubby bought regular immodium and I do not know if he was supposed to get pills? Tomorrow will be my first day. I know it was such a quick and low taper. I know I have you all for support...I think it is time to jump. I just do not know if I need pills instead of liquid....I am scared and excited...:)

You can do the pills or the liquid. I found the liquid worked faster for me and I honestly didn't want to take any more pills!  Lol. Congratulations on deciding to go for it! Post with any symptoms and all these awesome people will help you!  I am 5 days clean and could never have done it without this website!  You can do this!

Congrats sweety. I'm so proud of your leap of faith. I don't even know you, but I'm so proud. I can tell you, withdrawal is scary, it's uncomfortable, but just know, you'll be fine! It's only a few days of pain for a lifetime of joy and relief. You're just going to be uncomfortable. Unisom to help you get some sleep, and make sure you drink tons of water!!! :3 You go girl, so proud. I've got your back if you need any advice or just some jokes to make you smile  <3
