Dear addict,
I have just gone through the most difficult psychological and physical thing in my entire life.
I was a slave to pills and doctors and pharmacies.
But I want you all to know that YOU are still in there.
Granted it’s only been 2 weeks off of opiates, but I am feeling so amazing.
I’m feeling again, feeling things I forgot I could feel. For three and a half years my only focus was my next dose and as much of it as I could get. The worst part is I did this all legitimately.
My doctors would just give me more and more of whatever I wanted pretty much.
I started having some medical problems being pain and this was the way numerous doctors dealt with it, when really they were actually robbing me of my life.
It made my life so small. Literally as small as a single pea sized pill. How fucking stupid is that!
I know there are thousands if not more of you addicted to one thing or the other and you are tired of it.
It’s no longer about getting high, it’s about not feeling sick from not getting high. We have lost our friends, jobs, some family, but worst of all we lost ourselves.
I am far from a doctor, but I have dealt with doctors and hospitals everyday for the last five years, being a slave to them.
The amazing things I’m getting back is a million times better than any high from these toxic chemicals we put into our body.
My senses are even coming back, I can smell EVERYTHING, food sounds good again, and I’m having a huge sex drive which at 25 I should but I neglected it because all I cared about was stupid fucking pills.
I am so blessed to have a real angel as a fiance that has put up with this shit and has been my biggest support to stop.
We all may not be as lucky to have that support, but I want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
You ARE still in there somewhere, you just have to fight to come back. For me it was a choice of either death or stopping so I decided to try and get my life back.
I’m not gonna lie, it was the worst hell of my life for eight days or so, but then everyday after feels like Christmas.
Getting back all your normal feelings and energy and actually having fun, smiling and the best part of all is I’m in SO MUCH LESS PAIN now.
IT CAN HAPPEN.
The addiction is in your brain.
We have literally trained our brain to need something like we need food or water, but in time it will go back to normal, or maybe even better because this process showed me strength I had no idea I possessed.
I don’t know if anyone will even read this, but even if one person can get the strength to stop I’m happy.
Life is good…we have just forgotten that.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions also. You can do it!
Sincerely,
EX Opiate Addict
2 weeks? I don’t know man. I’ve done everything “perfectly” and its been 2 MONTHS and a good day is when i don’t want to blow my head off. It has been 2 years since i got hooked but in general my dose would have been considered low and route of administration not injection or smoking anything. I’ve been in therapy a year already and worked through any “child hood trauma’s, etc.”…. I just can’t seem to see the point in life anymore and I am indifferent about everything…. I don’t even care that this coronavirus thing is happening.
Hi Ex opiate addict
Reading your story and seeing that you came through detox and the painful withdrawals fills me with hope. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t anxious and afraid at what’s to come. I have been on subutex for 8-10 years and before that I was on heroin and crack and homeless.
I have got my subutex dose down to 1.75mg a day which I split between 2 doses through the day.
I have no support but having people like yourself and the other people on here helps and having matt finch there giving me advice and allowing me the great chance of doing ultimate opiate detox 2.0 is just the best feeling to know I’m not alone and wish everyone who is going through detox the very best of luck. You can do it,we can all do it.
Thanks for sharing your story Ex opiate addict.
From Chris.
You can do it. Keep pushing on!!!! I’m still free if opiates and never been happier!!!! 💗
Hey. That is so incredible!!! I’m so happy for you, like you I am a slave to oxy, it’s sickening, I’m blessed to have an amazing husband to support me through this! I’m ready to be done.
May I ask what dosenyou were taking when you decided to quit? And what aids or supplements did you take along with your withdrawals.
Thank you for sharing

I used Elimidrol. I did the day/night formula and I staryed taking it a few days before I took my last pill. It was a lifesaver for me. I was on pills daily for 4 years. I took them for chronic pain (caused my medical mistake, it was a nightmare). I weaned myself down to 2 10’s of Norco/day (which I broke in half and took 4 halves a day…then I went to three halves a day…couldn’t really ever seem to stick with less than that so I had to bite the bullet and just do it. I weaned down over weeks and slowly. (I’ve taken Oxy/Norco 4-6 10mg/day). I have quit once before without the Elimidrol and it was awful…I was still so sick 4 weeks later and couldn’t take it anymore and had to work/function so I started taking them again. I still have pain, always will BUT my life doesn’t revolve around that pill any longer and for that I’m thankful. You won’t feel like running a marathon but this stuff alleviated a HUGE portion of my withdrawal and helped even out the emotions also. Try it! I’d buy stock in it and scream it from the hilltops if I could. Hahaha. I’m NOT one who “thinks” something works, it either does or it doesn’t! ;). Good luck…you CAN ask it!!!!
Sorry for typos. You can DO it! 🙂
Yes Elimidrol is a great supplement!!! Glad it helped you and thanks for leaving this comment. 🙂 Take care.
That’s amazing good for you. So you were only taking 60 mg a day? I’m taking 500 mg a day and I’m having a very hard time weaning down. I know I have to do it it’s just hard any recommendations on how to taper quickly off of 500 mg a day? I would really appreciate any advice from anyone.
Much love xx
Thanks to all! I need hernia surgery and refuse to do it without getting off of subozone first. Frightened of pain after surgery. Still want to stay off drugs all together but feel conflicted because I still love opiates, I miss them terribly. God help me make the right decisions. On 2 ml subozone no problem, cutting down 1/4 every week. Why why why can’t I get my mind off of opiates oxycodone. I am so weak. Hoping this Matt Finch can help me!!!!!
You are not weak…it’s just that the midbrain, the part responsible for survival, is where opiates work, not the prefontal cortex. This makes is very hard to quit because the brain links “survival” itself to using oxycodone after you’ve developed a dependence.
I am so encouraged by your story and mostly excited about my actual emotions and feelings coming back to life soon. The few times I have started to quit, I felt alive again and didn’t even realize how numb I was! Of course the great fear of withdrawals has kept me from quitting completely until I found this website. I started the Vitamin C Mega dose schedule yesterday, I have elimidrol already & have purchased Kyani & the other supplements suggested. I have quit in the past with suboxone and went to the methadone clinic for a couple of weeks recently. I want to be off ALL forms of opiates & am so grateful I found these natural detox methods & the course lessons. Congrats on your recovery and thanks for sharing your story and giving me inspiration!
Can you tell me the method you used (e.g., megadosing on Vit C) that lead to your amazing results? Thank you so much!
Hey ExOA did those emotions and emergy and such dissipate pretry wuickly after they came? I had the same feelings and crazy emotiona 2 weeks after withdrawal but for past 2 months i have been super depressed and lethargic and no sex drive etc etc etc… What was the road like after those 2 weeks?
It’s refreshing to hear your story. I as well was living for my next pill. Our story is almost identical. I became addicted and slowly spiraled downwards for 3 years until just recently said enough is enough. I’m 2.5 weeks now with no pain meds and feel absolutely incredible. My life is back, I have energy, feelings, joy and overall happiness. The first week was hell. I went through every WD symptom possible both physical and mentally. The depression was horrific and I wondered if I could get back to my old self again. I didn’t even remember what that felt like. I’ve read so many stories online and it seemed like it could be months or years before others were saying you would be completely back to normal…2.5 weeks and I’m just blown away how I feel like I did 3 years ago. I wondered if that was normal or even possible but reading your story made me feel even better and stronger to keep moving forward.
I was a mess and abused my medication over and over. My tolerance was through the roof so I would always need more and more just to get that high (false happiness) or feel normal. I thought my life was ruined and that I may never turn back to my old self and would be on meds for the rest of my life but I made it up in my head and quit! If anyone truly wants to quit they can! There is hope and happiness at the end, it takes strength and determination but it is so worth it!! One thing that has really helped me was taking the energy I used to put into to get my pills into bettering myself through excercise and healthy eating. It’s become my new addiction and has essentially squashed the PAWs in its tracks.
Anyone reading, I just want to say it’s possible and it doesn’t always take forever. Less than 3 weeks and I feel 100% me again!
My sympathy to anyone struggling with addiction. It’s hell…but it doesn’t have to be!
What did you do or take to make you feel better those first few days of withdrawal, I would love to know. I what so much to quit but I have no down time, work 10 hours a day and can’t take time off from work. Need help fast.
Elimidrol was a lifesaver!!!!! Worth every single penny!!!! I will scream it from the hilltops. Only way of finally being successful. Good luck.
Elimidrol is amazing! Great product!
3 days into my withdrawals. I’m in hell. Diarrhea, sleepless, my brain constantly beating me up, nightmares. I can get a new script in 5 days. I don’t want to. Please tell me I’ll feel better, somewhat before I fold and get another script.

Awesome and very encouraging story! Thank you for sharing and being real about it all.
Thank you soooo much for sharing your success story…I needed to hear this…that I am still in there…please pray for me….so happy for you….
Glad my story helped you. I’ll pray for you. You can do this!
Thank you for this!!!! I am on day 7 and almost ready to give up what’s crazy is this is actually the easiest withdrawal I have been through over my 5 year addiction and also the longest I have gone before giving up. I am a mother of 3 beautiful wonderful sweet boys and they are one of the many reasons I have stuck it out this long them and my wonderful husband. The worst part right now is just the mental shit and not having no energy and it’s driving me crazy. Like seriously how long is it gonna be before I have energy again? But I have been online all night and I have decided to try the amino acid therapy I have read some great things about it so come tomorrow morning I will be going to the GNC store to purchase them. Of course accompanied by my husband so as to make sure I don’t make a bad choice and go to my dealer.
Your story is really giving me the boost I need to finally quit once & for all! It’s so uplifting to hear from a former user that there is indeed Life after opiates. Withdrawals are hell, but in the scheme of life a few days/weeks is nothing compared to years. Any advice for getting through those tough beginning days? I have small kids at home which has been part of the reason I haven’t started quitting, or at least that has been my excuse. Thank you again!
Glad my story gave you the boost you needed to quit! Just tough it out no matter what. It can be hard, especially with kids, but in the span of a lifetime it’s the blink of an eye. Good luck!
I just want to say I appreciate your positive story. Ive been through detox so many times… but this last time it took years to make another attempt. In the past I always seemed to bounce back fairly quickly. Reading horror stories on the internet has kept me from dealing with withdrawal for years. I’ve been so afraid of a week or so of pain that I continued using for years and years. So crazy!
Anyhow. Thank you and I’m really happy for you. Being positive is the first BEST step to take.
Thanks so much for your comment Sha! I’m glad you gained some motivation from reading my story. A positive mindset is the best place to start! Take care.
