Good morning all-  =)
Ok, I am feeling NORMAL-Truly, I am.  Every now and then I will "break a cold sweat", which only lasts 5 minutes at most-then just goes away-not sure what that is-and I am still gaining energy.  But when I only have it to compare to taking so many pills-I feel BETTER THAN NORMAL-NewYorkChick-I was where you were-I was the one posting on here-I envied all those that posted like I just did-I wanted so bad to not take pills-You remind me of ME!  You can do this!  I had to get help though-I was too far gone to do it alone-rehab was GREAT-AFTER the first 2 days in detox-they gave me phenobarbitol (sp?) before Suboxone-but I had to ride out the first 12 hrs on my own-so not too bad, but I was in full withdrawals-very uncomfy for only a SHORT while-I am being weened off Suboxone now-only 6 mg a day!  I finally love myself again (of course, mentally speaking)-and can enjoy a whole new days routine without worry-or being sick-that is freedom folks!  =)

Congrats!!! It's great to hear that it IS possbile to quit... I feel like it's hopeless seomtimes, that I'm just gonna be an addict forever : ( So how do you feel?  Are you still drained? Do you feel "normal"  I say normal, because that's what I always think; that I just want to be "normal"; to wake up and go throughout my day without thinking about pills, like a NORMAL person!
