i been trying to get sober cold turkey since 3rd
a little about me i broke my back and was prescribed 180mg oxycodone a day for 2 years i tapered down to 90mg a day come thursday and just quit cold turkey.i am having such a hard time i feel like i can't take another day of the withdrawals.the hot cold sweats,RLS,diarrhea,and most of of the thoughts of giving in to the pills to make this go away.i have no support no one left in my life that the pills didn't push away.

Have you been to your GP? When I went to the doctor they told me how long the withdrawals should roughly last and I found it super comforting to know that if I rode it out, I'd be okay.
Withdrawal is horrible, but it gets better. Really.

Welcome to the Forum!! 
The withdrawals won't last forever, you only have to go through this once and never again, try to focus on the reasons why you're making the changes in your life, hold on to those as things will ease with time, a little easier with each day.
You'll find loads of support here on SR too, there's usually someone around 24/7!!

I see you're from Weymouth, I grew up in Weymouth.
I would suggest a detox for OC's, its dangerous to stop on your own. Try SECAP in Brighton at St Elizabeths hospital or NorCap in Foxborough, they both take insurance.
