Is this even possible?!

Reading all the horror stories about withdrawal from opiates makes me question whether getting off all pain meRAB is even possible for me. People have a hard time detoxing after only months, taking 1/4 what I have, and I've been taking them for 15 YEARS! Add to that the fact that I am 59 yrs old with autoimmune diseases and other health problems -- honestly, is this even realistic?
It's not that I don't want to get off the meRAB. I DO. But, being honest, can anyone say this is a realistic goal?

There are many reasons I want to detox. A big one is that it scares me to be so dependent on them. I can't stop thinking, "WHAT IF...." I get an illness like cancer; or there is some kind of crisis and I can't get my hanRAB on them, etc., What would happen to me?! Abruptly stopping after such high dosages for so many years (with my health issues) would probably kill me, or close to it. So there is no question I HAVE to get my dosage down A LOT! - but to nothing??
I don't know......
 
Absolutely you can do it! It doesn't matter how long you have been on the opiates or how much you were taking... There is a way and a plan for your to get off of them. Taper as fast as your body can handle it, or as slow as you want, but there is a clean light at the end of the tunnel. The secret is having the right mind set and the willingness to follow through no matter how much the opiate demons try to convenience you otherwise. Oh, and they will try to trick your mind into doing all sorts of things to make you stop your detox. Just take it one day at a time and set the goal to go to bed each night a little closer to being clean. It's all in the mind! :-) Just keep moving forward. Oh, by the way, it was the opiate demons that wrote your last post. :D
 
Hey!

Yes, you can do this. There are MANY stories I have seen over the last year or two of users that have used for 10-25 years and quit. Even longer than that.

We will be there with you the whole way thru if you want us to be. I know how hard this is... I think for you, the answer is slowly but surely! Nice and slow will win the race for you (I think anyways!).

Keep posting friend!
