I have no experience with those drugs.

Have you talked to your dr?

If so, today is a good day to quit.

I am glad that you're seeking support.

I agree. Now is as good a time as any. But maybe you have your reasons.
I have never heard of those drugs.
I wish you luck.

No idea. But I just wanted to say good luck.

No, I don't have experience with the drug you're going to take.

I do have experience in "setting a date to quit" and it kept me drunk for many years. Until I was completely bought in to the idea of a sober life, I stayed not so sober. no amount of pills or time will help more than a genuine committment to a new life.

Hi Joe

Again - no experience with any of those drugs.
I agree it's best discussed with a doctor anyway

Welcome!
