I highly recommend looking through the website, even if you don't watch the programming.  Its one of the best websites I have came across when it comes to addiction.
Does a really good job breaking every aspect of the process down and explaining it.  

I'll see if I can talk my wife into letting me purchase a tv tuner for my laptop and record the show.  I have been looking for an excuse to buy one anyway..   :-)

i'm in WI, just outside of milwaukee. i read your post about Suboxone, have you decided yet? i too had an appt, but cancelled like an hour before. i dont want to trade one addiction for another. you have to taper of the Subox too. since i've been going thru this for 5yrs, i remember all to well 4yrs ago when methadone was the "answer" for pain pill addiction. my family tried and tried to get me to go on it, but i didnt have a good feeling about it. and look how thats turned out!!! 4yrs ago drs said how safe it was and today they know its more addictive and the w/d are 10 times worse than pain pills are. so now they have Subox, who know what the long term outcome will be with that? this is just my personal opinion on the subject.i ahve friends on Subox who are doing great. i think the question you need to ask yourself is can you do this anyother way first? if you feel uncomfortable about going the Subox route, then i would wait. please post me back if you ahve any other questions or need to talk.

I have it pre-ordered on DVD from Amazon, comes out 3/20/07 in a 4 DVD set, 3 of the DVD's are not on the HBO documentary, it sounds like it would be perfect for everyone involved, thank you for bringing it to our attention!
