the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Darren, I would agree with those who say be careful and do it right. Just seeing my little grandson come off the steroids after his brain surgery convinced me that anyone who is trying to come off anything has a struggle ahead and shouldn't do it alone.
I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family please do seek help you will need it. You have friends here who will be keeping watchful prayer for you.

I am praying for you Darren. God has been patient and kind to me and I believe that He can deliver all who trust in Him. When I try to improve on my own I usually fail but I believe God is faithful to those who trust in Him.

cjwood: thanks great post. No I am not just quiting cold turkey. Well I have stop taking my meds which are very powerful. I am now taking a weak pain pill so if I don't get so sick. At least that's the plan. I have been on theses meds for many yrs and I have been sick before so I know what to expect. This time however I am planning on going though this so mentally I am ready. My wife will keep a close watch on me if it get to be a life threaten situation there's 911. I have everything I need to make me as comfortable as possible. That being said I have no illusions in the next day or two it will hit me hard. If I make it pass the first week I should be OK. This is day one it will take at least 3days before it really hits. Anyway that's for yours and everybodys concerns. If i can post I will if not I'll see you on the flip side.
Thanks,
Darren

darren,
i am so thankful you have a plan in order. i commend you for your decision to rid your body of the polluting effects of the heavy pain meds. you are so correct that the withdrawal/detox effects take hold on the 3rd day. that was the case with me. i have been praying for you to remain strong mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. i know it is God's plan for you to be free of the hold the pain meds have on you. He will bring you through this and He will be with you in the midst of it. He is an awesome Father. what father wouldn't want his son to be free of this prison you are in with the prescription drugs. i look forward to reading your posts after you have made it through the most suredly hard days ahead. we love you as our own family and we pray for your recovery. i continue to pray for your wife, as your care taker, help meet, and friend.

Yes Darren....as Claudia said, I am also glad that you have a plan in your approach. May God be with you and help you....remember, when we are weak, He is made strong.
1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
Love
Heidi
PS Let us know how it goes, who knows.....I might follow suit.
