Dude, I'm glad you wrote it!!! And I wanna THANK YOU, not for me dude, but for the person who reads it and needs to change their life. If you get to ONE person it will be a blessing. AND I know you will, So THANK YOU for that.
I'm sure when I log in tomorrow this thread will be ripped apart, argued and debated... but bottom line I know your post will help one if not more get their LIFE BACK..
ps. This was a direct answer to coolio, I know someone will wanna answer my post.... please dont..... Don't waste your time or mine.... This is not a debate.... I don't care if anyone disagrees, or read something different, or haven't taking suboxone but heard.... blah, blah blah. Thank you
I agree coolio...if in that circumstance, i would rather take a small dose of prescribed sub when i was craving than a handful of my DOC...
This really made me feel a little better....
The study of the day: long-term drug use rewires circuitry in the brain so that any and all positive rewards pale in comparison to more of the drug of choice. This explains why the man who has been told by his wife that he can only come home when he gets clean just can’t stay away from using. It explains why the woman who is under threat of losing her children still can’t leave the pills alone.
Rita Goldstein was a part of the study at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. She says, “This altered sensitivity to reward may help explain why some drug-addicted individuals are unable to modify their drug-taking behavior, even in the face of well-understood negative consequences and/or positive incentives for behavioral change.”
She also said, “Individuals with such blunted neural and behavioral sensitivity to rewards may have a particularly difficult time responding to abstract incentives designed to motivate behavioral changes — especially when outside of a structured treatment environment or when rewards are not readily available or clearly contingent on behavior.”
I keep the sub close by....cause if im gonna give in its going to be with suboxone not 25 oxycodones.
I found the above post on a web site....They talked to a guy (was in jail) that got to be part of suboxone study....It really saved his life.
