What was your experience with quitting opioids cold turkey after 17 years of use?

Your strength and determination in overcoming opioid dependence is remarkable. While quitting "cold turkey" worked for you, it's important to note that sudden stopping can be dangerous for many people due to severe withdrawal symptoms including increased blood pressure, heart rate, and intense physical discomfort.

The first 72 hours are typically the most challenging, with symptoms like:
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sweating and chills
• Muscle aches
• Anxiety
• Sleep problems
• Stomach cramps Recovery is a journey that looks different for everyone. The fact that you've maintained sobriety for over 2 years is a significant achievement. Long-term recovery involves building healthy routines and finding support systems that work for you. Your success story shows that while the path to recovery can be challenging, it is possible to overcome opioid dependence and build a fulfilling life without them.

You are strong so you quit opiates in one day. You're also a liar & a moron. Addiction has nothing to do with strength or morals but it's disgusting people like you who spread those falsehoods that keep addicts in shame.

I am with you about feeling that way. However, the post actually said “I just quit one day” not IN one day. Shaming addicts who seek help is diabolical and even worse when it is sought out by judgement Al people who don’t have the first clue about what they are talking about. So sad that this is done on a site for addiction support and rehabilitation with some community aspect for hope. People are so ugly inside that they get online and seek out individuals who they perceive to be “weaker than, less than..” what they see themselves as being..
