Jaydizzle. Its gut check time. No time to back down. Just promise yourself youll give it 3 days. Thats it. After that youll be mostly in the clear. 3 days. No biggie.

I was taking 8 7.5/750mg hydrocodone and 2 50mg tramadol.  Today I got down to 1 and a half 5/500 hydrocodone and no tramadol.

You have come this far, ready to commit to your new life...free from the chains of death that are hanging around your neck right now. Be ready for tomorrow!! Dont even think about not doing it!! Do it and never look back!! Make that commitment and stay commited no matter how hard it gets!!!
If you ever go back, once you commit, it will be 10 x 10x 10x 10 times harder...and you will be sooo sorry!!
Look ahead and Ask God to help you!!!

Read thru my thread on here , hopefully there is some info in it that can help u. Good luck my friend, see u on the other side.

I just went cold turkey last week. However, it was BAD! I would ween yourself off and pre are yourself for the withdrawal you are about to go through. Ie: Thomas recipe, Over the counter RLS meds, salting crackers and muscle soak. Good luck!!
