KICKING OXYCONTIN & HEROIN ADDICTION COLD TURKEY

hello all. this is my first post on here. i am trying to kick an oxy/heroin addiction. today is day one. i feel like i have to do it cold turkey and none of this methadone **** and weening yourself off. that dosent work. i feel as if it just prolongs the inevitable. i have been hooked on oxys for about 2 yrs and just started sniffing heroin.... BLAH BLAH BLAH
we have heard it all, anyways... what do you think of going cold turkey? should i try the thomas recipe? i am hoping to find some support. i havent taken oxys in about a week but i have been using heroin(sniffing). i think the oxys are out of my system. is it easier to withdrawal from oxys or heroin? i have withdrawn from oxys, not by choice, and it was hard the very first day. it seems as if the heroin hasnt been that bad the WD that is. who am i kidding its only day one.

Posting to the forums is definately the first step to recovery, and you're not going to regret it either.. Today, I'm 15 days sober from Percocet and I owe it all to this forum. You can do this CT, but if it gets to the point where you feel like you can not do it alone, then please go see a doctor. I did mine CT and it wasn't a breeze, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, either.

Keep posting here on the forums, it helps out more than you'd think. The more you post, the more your mind is preoccupied with something else other than going back to the drugs. If you need someone to talk to, just let me know!
