What route to go..what to do?

[Butterfly125]

On and off of roxies for 3 years now and need to stop once and for all. Was getting subs from friends however no one has them anymore. I have a doctors appointment on Monday to see if a DR. will perscribe some but I am concerned because I am low on money and because my Boyfriend (who is also addicted) is leaving for boot camp in 18 days and he needs to be okay for boot camp. Should I go to the appointment on Monday and get the subs and have him take them until he goes to boot camp or would that make things worse for when he is there? Please help. we really need advice this had gotten out of control and we just need to know what to do now. I am so concerned for him.

I don't know if whatever service your BF is going into would allow him to go to bootcamp knowing he is on subs. If your plans were to take the subs up until the time he went in I think that would be a mistake because w/d from subs is far worse than from vics. Also as I said before going through w/d itself is hell, doing in bootcamp would be even more horrible.

IMO it would be better to get the w/d over with at home going CT than in an environment where you would be subjected to long hard days of very physical activities and mind games. If your BF is going to Marine bootcamp multiply it by 5. So I would talk to your doctor and advise him you would like to try CT and could he help both of you through it. Also 18 days is plenty of time to get through it and I'm sure he would be thankful he did. God Bless you both.

We were going to the DR. on Monday for Subs. not pills...do you think we should or is that worse and going cold turkey is better?
