Hello @jdiakiw and I appreciate you sharing your story about becoming addiction-free. If you care to share more, were there any tools (beyond willpower and dedication to the task) that made this possible? Is there one tool you would care to share with someone who is trying to become addiction-free?

Also, if you don't mind sharing this, what is your current level of pain?

My pain doctor who originally suggested I go to a rehab clinic was horrified when he read this story which I sent him. He considered the speed with which I de-toxed was dangerous. I reduced by 5mg a week from 160 mg per day. If he had had a chance to work with me on my de-tox he would have recommended a 3 -4 week 5mg reduction. 5mg per week was dangerously too fast in his opinion
