Day 15 no subutex and feeling awesome

Hi guys. Just wanted to say its day 15 for me detoxing off subutex, and I woke up today as my life changed. I feel like im 18 yrs old again. I have scrubbed my house and done washing. I feel alive for the first time in years. My energy severley came back, its a wonderful feeling. I suffer with obsessive compulsive disorder and having no energy to clean, near killed me with my thoughts racing, I wanted to clean but couldnt do it. I have 3 small beautiful children, and feel like a mother to them again, a proper mother. 15 yrs of heroin abuse and 21 mths of presc. subutex, all finished and done with forever. You can do it people I believe in all of you. Bottom line, time heals all. I was on 32mg a day of subutex and my detox off subutex only took 15 days for me to be me again. I reduced my dose after 17 mths of 32mg daily. 5 mths of tapering to .08mg then stopped. This is my story and I really hope it gives hope to you all. I stopped the valium and clonidine 5 days ago and only took 2.5mg valium a night with 50mg clonidine a night. I dont need either anymore. Beleive in yourself, never say never.

Wow!! I feel ya! 55 days no subs and I feel like a new man. I have drive, energy and clear headed. I haven't felt like this in years. I had a heroin habit as well and to be clean and living the drug free life is freedom. Proud of you. Don't give in and continue with whatever it takes to keep you clean and successful. Family and God is my driver...
