tips for someone recovering from a serious addiction?

Question by brandon: tips for someone recovering from a serious addiction?
i am currently recovering from an addiction to oxycotin after suffering a near death experience. i am not in a rehab center yet, because i still need to stay in the hospital for a few more days, and already i can’t stand it all the time i think about it but can’t do anything about it. the rehab center recommended they slowly take me off of the drug, but because of how much was in my system it would be risky. so i am quitting a 4 year addiction cold turkey. can anyone who has faced this type of problem give me any tips?

Answer by poison
Quitting oxycontin cold turkey can be fatal. Withdrawal symptoms can make you severely sick and your body can respond in violent ways.
