Yes I relapsed... :(

Hey everyone.  After about a month and a half off the pain killers I was finally feeling great, and thought I would honestly make it through.  Than I moved into a home filled with drugs coming in and out, right in front of my face all the time.  I can not blame my environment, but it def didn't help.  Between the stress of the move itself, and the drugs being right there I was bound to relapse.  I could have fought it harder if I wanted to, but for some reason I didn't.  So now here I go again with my back agaisnt the wall, broke and in cold turkey withdrawal.  I am getting a script for suboxone and clonodine.  The subs have helped me in the past but, I don't know anything about clonodine?? Can anyone help... I have been thro the withdrawals before but, this time I am in even deeper and want to make sure I do this right.  I went to a doctor and everything.  I know the hard part is actually staying clean but, I can only focus on one day at a time or I will just simply give up.  I could use all your support/knowledge.  You all always help me thro........so here I am again asking for your hand!?  Anybody still have hope in me??? :(

You helped me when I was just beginning the withdrawals.  I remember your posts and comments were an inspiration to me and I am here now to support you.  
I know, without a doubt, that if it was in front of me I couldn't say no either.  I had to change so many things in my life including my boyfriend, friends, and doctors.  I had to make sure that my life would not have any temptation in it.  I am working with my therapist on becoming strong enough to not give in to them again.  Until that day....I know that I can't put myself into a situation where I would be tempted.  I am protecting my clean life with everything that I have and you can do it too!!!!!!!
Glad you're back!

Welcome back,

There is always hope, for anyone, so yes I have hope in you. I need to suggest that you push yourself into some form of aftercare. A support group would be great. It seems that is something you have not tried so why not give it a go.

Since you are going back on Suboxone I do not see the need for Clonodine. It is used for ct and tapering. Talk with your doctor though.

Do you plan on staying on Suboxone long-term? Will you be getting counseling as well? Are you still in the house?
