keep cutting down, very slowly. Go to .75 for a few weeks, then a half, then .25, until you are just taking little slivers (I am assuming it is the strips because those are much easier.
8 years is a long time but you can certainly get off it. The real issue would be getting yourself out of situations where you are around pills all the time. It simply won't work trying to stay sober like that for just about anybody. Know what your triggers are and avoid them or be prepared. It becomes much much easier a few months after all the physical withdrawals have subsided and your brain chemistry gets back on an even keel.
