How long should 8 subutex last me ?

[Kris8989]

Hello I'm 27 and have relapsed once again since last September I went back to taking anywhere from 0-10 or more oxy 30s a day depending on how much money I had at the time. I soon started to seek the heroin because I knew it was cheaper and i became addicted to it before, not just smoking but IV I loved the rush doing close to 50$-100$ a day. I broke my back playing football and that's what started my opiate addiction and I have lots of trouble getting sleep opiates took all that pain away and I knew I would at least sleep when I'm high. I'm now willing to give up the sleep to fix my life that I have soooo selfishly messed up with the drugs especially my family I'm a thief and lier and would have never done things like this. I have detoxed before and this will be the last time..I'm done I have to be . Iv done the detox before off Oxys and H but this time I only have 8 subutex to do this and I'm worried my H dosages were too high so now I probably have to take more correct ? But I don't want to stay on the subs because I have no doctor or insurance to get more and I don't want to wd on those too..even know they still make you but I remember it being not that bad..also would taking a Benzo like Xanax help me sleep during the detox??  Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks !!

hi, i havent answered anybody on here in long time, really dont know if what i got to say helps ppl or not, cuz all of us are different.im double your age but probably younger emotionally because of being a life long addict /alcoholic, well here goes, i havent had and opiate /heroin since march 2008, Never thought that would even be possible, now that being said i have still struggled with alcohol.I am a very self centered egotistical selfish person, (very independant) ive always done whatever i wanted , when i wanted not caring about anybody else., what i did was channel that into stopping the intake of opiates, it got me through the sickness, along with the selfless ppl on this forum, i was a person that hated everything about me, well i turned that around and used the tenacity that always allowed me find a way to manipulate my feelings, to learn to live with out that warm good feeling opiates gave, me, it was also practical as i was not getting what i wanted from them anymore, and overdose would have been next.
It takes fighting in the beginning, especially after the sickness goes away and sleep eventually comes back.It Can Be Done , ppl do it everyday.for me i ended up homeless because of it and started over 1500 miles away, but everyones different.it happended for me later in life , but if i could of done this in my 20's it would of been alot better for so many ppl that cared about me, i find now i am not so selfish, and i got what i always was looking for with the drug, peace.......
