Hi and good luck!
Withdrawal scares all of us! Sometimes it scares us so much that it makes the actual withdrawal seem much worse and feel much worse (going through that right now myself). Ive also been on opiates for a very long time and I can tell you its doable as long as you are determined! good luck I am sure youll make it :)

thanks for the response, just having someone that completely understands is HUGE. i have to do this, i could have a good life if i just get off these things, my mind is obsessed, my body is obsessed.. i have all the things i love in my life(horses, truck, trailer) but the pills are controlling  everything and i dont enjoy what i love.......just the pills.  i couldnt even imagine being free to live.
