tintin,

I quit cold turkey back in August after taking hydrocodone everyday for about a year and a half for a serious back and shoulder injury. My body became dependant on the hydro's. Quitting was extremely hard and the withdrawals were really bad, both physically and mentally. I'm not trying to scare you but I want you to know what's going to happen in the next few days. It will be hard, but you can make it. I made it and so can you. I am at day 85 this morning. The first couple of weeks were really bad for me but after that things got better. Now, I am much happier and I am enjoying life's pleasures everyday, the pleasures that I overlooked when I was on the hydros. I spend quality time with my two children and my wife, and people say that I am noticeably happier. You can beat this monster too and we will help you. I suggest that you keep posting in here as often as you can, everyday. You will find strength from others, just as I did, and before long you will on day 85 and you will be talking to someone who is just starting out and needs your help. Be strong and keep the faith.
