Going cold turkey!!!

I thought I was gonna b able to taper to a lower dose b4 I go cold turkey,but due to some finacial problems Im not gonna b able to. Im on 200mgs of methadone and tomorow is my last day dosing. The clinic said theres not much they can do but are gonna try to get me a bed in detox n try making it as comfortable as posible.(but thats not for sure) So im prob gonna do this at home. Ive heard of vitamins,stayin hydrated and is it colodine? What else can help? And does that WITHDRAWLease they advertise on here work? Im pretty scared I went thru some wd last wk n it was horrible. N im not in the same shape I use to b,so hoping my body can take it. Any old remedies or lil tricks to fool the mind would b helpful. Thanx

"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

One day at a time brother, don't need to be good at math to add those up.

hi everyone thanks again for all your support!!! Just wanted to share a thought. It says in the bible that we were created in His image.  And that he so loved the world that He sent His only Son. Now we all know how much Jesus suffured. And those who dont believe there was a real life person this happened to. Wether u believe he was the Christ thats a matter of opinon but His death is fact. I see us addicts w/ Christ like strength, we've been beaten down w this disease. Crucified  by our actions and dead to that past life. Now is our turn to comeback to life from the death of addiction!!! We were given that power. Im not a preacher im a tattooed skinhead (not racist) with 25plus yrs of street life under my boot. And simply ran into the truth. No more lies or chaos. From punk rock vocalist to rising above my addiction n in time free of my own convictions! Nite friends remember united we'll stand divided...well ive never been good at math haha!!!

that's great. keep yourself moving. you need to eat so that is good you feel well enough. stay hydrated also. you need to keep up your strength. please continue on this taper. don't stop at this high of a dose again. it could be dangerous. drinking ensure, boost and protein shakes are also good.
as you post with updates someone will get back to you.
no my friend you aren't forgotten.
stay in the Word, the lamp onto your feet and the light onto your path.
keeping you in prayer,
Debbie
