Setting a clean date

[Jabberwocky]

I don’t feel any of the drugs anymore so I’m setting a clean date of next month, I would start now but as long as I have drugs in my possession I will not lie to myself and everyone else and say I’m quitting now. That being stated I’ll set April 4th as my clean date from prescription drugs. Hold me to this everyone

What drugs are you planning to quit?

Oxycodone really is all I’ve got to deal with. And really it’s not that bad I can stop now.. but I’ve got a few left so I’m not going lie to myself or you guys and say I’m quitting now. That’s my first step is stopping lying to myself.

My dosages are 5-7.5 mg every 4-6 hours but I doubt I ever take 7.5 mgs cause I been getting 15s and I kinda just chip at them during the day. That being stated i still got a bunch to do errand wise. So ima use the rest while I do that so that I can be at home while I get the shits.

Rather than setting a date where you're going to jump off completely, I think you would be best advised to take stock of what you have left and work out a tapering schedule. A rapid taper is better than no taper at all. I'm not familiar with oxycodone but I'm sure there are many here who could advise you better. All I can really say is good luck and don't lose sight of your goal...

Thank you Fub, I would but a taper really just keeps me going on it. I’ve learned with myself it’s either cut or keep going. I’ve quit numerous things, thanks to God and best results was with cold turkey. Not to sound combative to what you was saying cause I know a lot of things get lost in translation through text. But the best bet for me is to lose contact with drug supply block and focus my efforts into my music and humanitarian efforts. As that is truly the only time I’m high without being high. Is when I’m working on my craft and putting others first.

Ok mate. If you're not clean by April 4th I'm gonna give you a virtual slap..

But seriously, all the best and I really hope you do it. Keep us all informed and rest assured you wont be judged if things slip a little. (y)

Thank you family! I probably deserve that virtual slap anyways. You all have helped me be smart as possible with my usage and now it’s time that I really make a go at staying away from shit instead of saying I’ll do it tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. Either way thanks bro!
