cold turkey or not that is the question

I can say I have gone CT twice but was under a Dr. care MD/ pain manegment that is your best option always have medical advice so you are moniturde I could not tapper myself so I had to go CT but was able to have a Dr who understood when I explained it to him his only response to it was that he had to go CT from smokeing cause he could not tappper the ciggs so understanding that he took the time to see what I was feeling and helped me threw them.You are thinking cold turkey there are Dr.'s who do care about there patients I am one of the lucky ones to have a dr who cares. any amount of tappering will help the longer the tapper the less withdrawal the shorter tapper the more you feel coldturkey is hell no question if you are thinking CT dig deep inside you ask your self do I have the strength do I have the will do I have the disapline anyone can start CT but some make it some fail the ones who fail the withdrawals break them does that mean they failed all together hell no and say F U C * you addiction you do not own me I have the power get anggry ant the DOC get it in your head that the addiction is a real person and you want to choke the life out of your addictoin focuse see it and atack it with all your power your anger everytime you take one it should make you more and more angry at your addiction.

1 focuse
2 beleave in yourself ( we all are beautiful people we aew )
3 just not want it but will it to be clean
4 faith in yourself and in your religion praying is power
5 tell your DOC to eat sh!t and die
6 motivation and disapline

you can do it

Good to see you again stevo!!  And just wanted to tell you that I love the pics of your furry friends.  Good looking bunch!!!  :) p.s. and I agree on your viewpoint with the ct vs. tapering.  Never had that kind of discipline to do it, but I'm not one to make any judgment - whatever works for you and gets you clean is all that counts.

Yeah I think with pills cold turkey may have a higher success rate due to the fact that ceasing putting pills in your mouth as soon as possible helps ease the intense cravings. Atleast that's how I see it and did it. I'm sure there are many who have tapered successfully, but it seems during that period, all your doing is watching the clock to see if it's pill time.

It does take a lot of discipline and I believe strong family support and accountability are paramount.

Wow. Exactly what I needed to read!
Is it true the longer the taper the less withdraw in the end if any at all?
