Cold turkey when going on vacation

Cold turkey when going on vacation a bad idea?

Hey guys this is my first post i just would like to say hello! But here's my deal. I take oxycodone about 30-90mg in one day. But I don't do it every day. It's mostly like every 2 days or so but I have been doing this for a few months. There would b times where I had 5 day breaks in between but they're so easily accessible where I am so it's hard to not get them. But I decided I want to stop and tomorrow I leave for the Bahamas for a week and I'm going cold turkey. I was wondering if the WD symptoms would ruin my vacation or if they would even bother me at all. I feel like it would be a good time to get clean because my mind is going to be so occupied on having fun in the Bahamas. But what do you guys think? Is it a bad idea? Thanks!

well its not like you could really find a better scenario to withdraw in. The part that will suck the most is the plane ride if I had to imagine.

You might feel somewhat lethargic but if youre just laying on the beach or w/e I doubt itd be too bad

Hey guys this is my first post i just would like to say hello! But here's my deal. SWIM takes oxycodone about 30-90mg in one day. But swim doesn't do it every day. It's mostly like every 2 days or so but he has been doing this for a few months. There would b times where swim had 5 day breaks in between but they're so easily accessible where Swim is so it's hard to not get them. But swim has decided he wants to stop and tomorrow Swim leaves for the Bahamas for a week and he's going cold turkey. Swim was wondering if the WD symptoms would ruin his vacation or if they would even bother him at all. Swim feels like it would be a good time to get clean because his mind is going to be so occupied on having fun in the Bahamas. But what do you guys think? Is it a bad idea? Thanks!

SWIM really? if YOU can handle breaks in between then you dont have a dependency
addiction and dependency are 2 different things
dependency will cause withdrawals but again if you can go days without it then you should be fine going on vacation
if anything you will be fighting the addiction which is a mind set because the pill is always readily available
slight chance you might feel unwell but it can be tolerable

hell it might do you some good to get away from all the bs maybe looking at how beautiful things can be might sober you up
have a good time and enjoy it
if you happen to have a script for a benzo take it with you might take the edge off

Welcome to bluelight

Please don't use SWIM or any other self-incrimination avoidance tactic (like my dog or afoaf). It's not allowed and if we're being honest it won't make or break any court cases, especially when you start your post off in the first person . I've edited your post.

ditto what deos68 said: if you can skip days without getting sick, i don't think you'll get sick on vacation (his distinction between addiction and dependency is spot on). i think what will be a lot rougher is going cold turkey till you leave. if your body is used to opiates a few times a week, you're likely to find yourself pretty pissed/depressed. but i doubt you'll be sick.

If you can take breaks in between usage then you should be able to power through it. As some have said you may be lethargic..but you'll be in a beautiful place. Do you get the yawns or anything before your next dose?

A little while after I began abusing opiates I actually went away for a 4 day festival with like 3 pills and convinced myself I wouldn't go into withdrawal and I'd be fine. Well I for sure couldn't enjoy the music/festivities like I thought I would and my lower back was killing me..I just wanted to sleep.

I wound up finding some methadone and it turned my trip around so I'm not sure how bad it would've gotten..and I was using everyday at that point. I was just kind of in denial about my addiction at that point I guess.

Maybe bring some Imodium and vitamins..maybe some l-tyrosine for energy. Good luck and let us know how it turns out please!

again addiction and dependency are 2 very different things
you had/have a dependency issue
the op has more of an addiction problem he stated he could have breaks
people with a dependency problem do not have "breaks"
just isnt possible well you can but you will get sick and feel like dog shit on a nice sunny day

in the end goes to show you nothing ever good comes with drug use
