the first step to recovery is to want to stop using.
you are on your way!
good luck on this trip- it is a bumpy, learning experience that can be accomplished while traveling down it!
ive been taking 10 perks a day for about 2-3 years now and i need advice on going cold turkey or the methodone program. i read so much last night im more confused than when i started-ive also read about this procedure that puts you under anesthesia and you wake up not addicted-just want to hear peoples opinions i guess

There are many ways to detox. All that you described people have done and have worked. Have you considered speaking with a professional in your area to find out what is available and which plan suits you best? Might be the easiest thing. Because everything will cause more confusion at this point. You want to pick the one that will help you stop and have the best chance for staying off the meds. Getting off the meds is easy. Staying off the meds is hard. Whatever you chose best of luck. You've taken the first step. I wish you the best.
I am with the BOSS, check out the suboxone website. Lots of info there. I ts much better than Methadone, Its easier to taper from. There are no withdrawl from swithcing from your drug of choice, please do your research!!! Good luck to ya!
if you go the cold turkey route ya just gotta know it's awful and stick with it. It gets so uncomfortable you wanna just die but that part passes after awhile and then there is the mental component which may affect you. If you do the cold turkey way focus on how to support your body in all the best ways you can. It's all possible. I don't know much about the meds so just keep listening to the posts. Just gotta see which way is best for you. Good luck! Keep writing and let us know how you are doing.
