I have tried multiple times to quit cold turkey and after a few days I end up quitting and going back to the opiates.  I was able to quit once before when I was in my mid 20's but with work and a family I can not afford to take the 2 weeks of misery and still complete all the tasks that my family depends on me to carry out.  It's just not fair to them, thus I want to try and fix this problem before it further adversely effects anyone else.
