The key to ceasing the regular intake of a drug that causes physical dependency is to stop it gradually. Reduce little by little, consistently, over the course of several weeks.

However, it's impossible to give guidelines for taking prescription drugs on Answers.com. For any medical guidance, you should always seek professional advice.

How do you quit taking pain pills on your own?

One day at a time. There is no one way to quit. For me the way is to just stop, and everytime you feel like taking one do something positive instead, such as call a friend who does not use, take a walk, read a book, make some cookies, anything to distract yourself. Each day will be a struggle but if you take one hour at a time and truly want to stop you will.
