I believe you will. It took me YEARS to get to the point where I wanted to get off the opiates more than I just wanted more of them. You will know when you are ready. Until 16 days ago, I wasn't ready. Once you are, there will be nothing that can stop you! I have faith in you, the fact that you are on here talking about it means you are very close. And there will be many people here to help you and support you. I really am not sure I would have made it this far without this site. In the first week sometimes I would just sit and read everyone's stories. It really helped me to put it all in perspective. Hang in there, you got this.
