Suboxone w/d + pot?

[BrentD]

I am on ninth day suboxone free and really feel like smoking a bowl. Is there any reason this would be a bad idea? Does matter at all? Could it actually be beneficial? I have smoked pot on and off for a long time now and last time I went through 4 days of w/d I smoked everyday and think it helped. Now that Im 9 days in I guess Im just being careful and dont know if theres any real reason I shouldnt.

You made steering easy Brent.  You kept an open mind about what was said to you.  Congrats on those clean days!!!!!!!!!  sara

[BrentD]

Deal. This reward of being able to say I have been clean for 9 days is more rewarding and makes me feel better than any drug could right now. Thanks again for steering me back in the right direction.

Attaboy!!!! Now you're getting it.  Glad to hear you are gonna rethink your plans.  Our addictions are sneaky.  I used to trade one for the other until I was finally doing all at the same time.  I suggest taking a look at why you wanted to smoke in the first place.  Do you do any kind of aftercare? NA, AA, counseling???  I go to AA mtgs.  What I learned in there has really helped me understand why I do what I do and has shown me a better way of living.  You are young and have a great chance to have a wonderful life. God Bless!!!!

Pot is a mood altering chemical and when we get clean we have to stay away from all of that.  There are many thoughts on weed but it still has to be considered  harmful to an addict.      sara

Of course. I guess I never even looked at pot as something that is or would ever be a problem though. Maybe I should relook this with a different mindset eh?

I'm nearly 6 months clean from barbiturates.

I'm having pain from oral surgery.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't take 4 Vicodin right now?  Or smoke some pot?

Yes!  The reason I shouldn't is because I'm clean and sober now.  I take Motrin. I eat ice cream. I like being in my own head.  Try it!
