"About my addiction"

About: Project Answer - Nmp

I went for help as I had a 20 a day tramadol addiction for nearly 5 years. I went for help as I know it was dangerous to just stop tramadol immediately, it's a lot safer to taper off it, but they told me to just stop immediately and do it cold turkey , without any offer of other medication to either help with withdrawal or to lower the risk of seizures. So I cold turkeyd and on the 3rd day I had multiple seizures And was very poorly for a few days.. I would never go hear again. I am nearly 29 days clean now and 70% back to normal, still having problems sleeping and it's mentally challenging but i know now I will never eat an opiate tablets ever again. I have this on track now and I can feel the happier, cleaner and more healthy life just around the corner, just within grasps, I'm free from hell now :)
