Norco withdrawal. Mentally prepared and scared

I posted but can't find it. Was asking weather weaning or cold turkey was better , as most people on here do and they deleted my post. My question is, will I be able to function cold turkey? I have a plan, Thomas recipe, and currently had surgery, my day off is going to be Friday. I will start in the morning. My family expects a lot out of me. I do it all. My husband wants me to stop taking them, he doesn't know how much. He thinks it's mind over matter and there will b no physical symptoms. Little does he know. Verbally he is not nice. Will not help me . So I'm alone, with my kids. And he expects me to be gung- ho during withdrawals. Not! So what do I do and say? I take 10/325 about 15 a day. Down to about 11. I have everything I need. These pills are gross! I'm strong willed  and never had a problem with anything in my life till now. They took over. Scared but ready. I have about 7 days before work. Will that b enough time? Cold turkey? When will I see the light?

Been feeling all symptoms. Took 2 pills on day 3 and 1 on day 6. After 4 day do different w/drawals kick in? Feel better and knowing it's been a week almost and only 4. Proud. But no more. Now done, feeling better, exercising daily. Still have strange symptoms. The latter ones. Normal?

Thanks. I barely felt the goosebumps and later w/d symptoms today. Walking for 15 mins. Did taper. From alot. So I've  been sweating  and had to drive to store. Not fun. But slowly working it's way out of my system.

Sorry haven't posted on your thread yet.  You can do this though.  My husband was taking Norcos about 20-30 a day.  Worst day for him was day 4. It's worth the he ll that you are going through dude, trust me.  You're getting YOU back and YOUR LIFE back :)  Keep your head up okay! Try taking small bites of food here and there like one bite every 15-30 mins if you have to.  You have to get nourishment of some sort and shakes are great too, but sometimes don't cut it.  Keep going :)
