SUNDAY!

Hey I hope everyone had a great weekend and New Years, also I hope everyone will have a good day and I would like to see how many days you been clean, also what did you do to go through it and how long you been and what did you accomplish afterwards as well. I'm going through withdrawls which ***** and I'm thinking I'm just going to do suboxone for a week or two then stop I've done it before I don't know how people get so addicted to suboxone but I guess it can be as well, also I use to hate Pain Killers literally use to make my stomach hurt and sick just taking it but I force myself to see how it is and I started to get use to it for couple years now. I'm literally sad and depress what could of been and I would have already accomplish and saved so much money by now.

I only took it to avoid hydro w/d and to maintain. I have 4 children that need a roof and food, couldn't take the time to be sick (or so i thought) big freakin mistake. Its my understanding my w/d would have been less if i wouldn't have done the subs!  Dumb move, on my part.

Wow never know that, also I only take a tiny piece I don't do half the strip or however people do it. I thought it blocks opiates? People tell me it's like taking 20 Hydro or whatever but to me it keeps me feeling normal.

I'd like to pass on some information to you regarding suboxone. I am on day 19 off of 6 yrs of hydros and 6 yrs of subs and if you don't know how anyone can get addicted to them then u just don't have the right information. During my w/d I found a chart that showed what 1 1.2 mg strip of sub is equal to in all other areas of drugs, I.e. heroin, methadone, oxys etc.... And honestly, subs put most all other pills to shame in dosage. It was like 1.2 mg = 50 mg hydros. My dr had me on 16 - 24 mg A DAY! Totally my opinion, so u can tell me to shove it, but don't bother with the suboxone. As addicts, all we end up doing is substituting one drug for another. Sub w/d was wayyyy worse than I ever imagined. Just FYI....

I sure hope you do go C/T and get it over with. I know root canals are not pleasant but 3 advil would make it bearable. I did the same thing, I had dental implants and had a tooth pulled had a dry socket that's what got be started, We just can't take a chance, We need to try Advil or something otc first before reaching for the drugs. I'd rather suffer for 3 days than go C/T again. I can't stand the depression and hopelessness.

I agree and I should take advantage since I'm still young and I was 21 when I got into it as well. I truly regret it man can't; sit and complain we gotta and I gotta do something about it and have a good future without these all it does is brings you down and make you broke and can't focus or don't care for nothing else but being selfish well at least for me. I'm pretty depressed how I releapse tho I was doing super fine until I had my root canal, etc hurting so bad and I started to take it.

I have a son that felt the same way at 30 and didn't do anything about it, He's now 50 and in the same boat. What could have been is gone!! It's the now that matters. Pony up and put one foot in front of the other and keep doing that till you come out the other side. It's not going to be easy but it can be done. Just look around here on this site. Everyone did it the same way. They made up their mind that it was the most important thing in the world to them and they were going to do what ever it took to get clean. Don't mean to sound hard, it's for me also, but it's the truth. God Bless
