by jackjack103, Jun 05, 2008 12:39AM
Hi, im new to this forum but i read some good posts and decided to join..

I have been on a 1 month daily heroin binge..and im trying to quit now but its hell and i cant! I bought some vicodin and suboxone off the streets to help me stop but i still cant.  I actually hate suboxone even though i heard its a miracle drug...

What are your thoughts? anyone been in my place before? how do you deal with that?

Thanks

Firstly i would like to say welcome! This place is good for advice, support and many other things, so keep posting.

I was a Heroin addict for 8+yrs, i do know what this evil poison does to a person. I dont really know much about vicodin and suboxone, so i can not really comment on them. I do know that people on here have said Suboxone have saved them, so it depends on what you want to do to help yourself.
I quit c/t from Heroin, not very pleasant shall we say, but it is achievable! I dont want to say it is going to be easy if you follow this route, but if you really want it, you can do it!

Anyway, feel free to PM me if you have any questions. More people will be around later and they could give you some advice on the pills, like i said i dont know anything about them so i will leave that for the people who know more about them
Keep us updated and i wish you all the strength to get through this! Take care
