Hi
I am with you. I am on day 5 of a medical taper. I am also in AA many years. I have flushed all the pills last night, except a few that the doctor has in my taper. Since I am skeptical a taper will work, I have setup a detox, i have an option for a couple weeks on subox, and I have scheduled vacation to go cold turkey very soon.
I am down to 45 mg today, from 75mg. I have had some rough times, but I have a sponsor, a doctor, and I am following all direction. I believe one needs to go to any length to get clean, so I am doing this. My withdrawls are tolerable, my doctor is trying to take me down to 15mg for the jump, if this does not work, like I said, i have no more pills and a very serious plan. I go to meetings everyday Cheers
