Help Stopping Suboxone
All,
Here I am again...been on suboxone for two years now at 6-8 mg a day. I do drink and take my script of Klonopin. The klon is daily and drinking once or twice a week. I need help. I don't know what to do. Most people see me as this highly functional responsible person. Married, kid, nice home, fancy job title, etc.
I feel like its all a lie. I'm just a loser inside who can't get it together. Suboxone is a powerful opiate that I am and I make a lot of important decisions. Granted, I'm happy that I'm not chasing pills and having mood swings. However, I need help getting clean. My wife doesn't know about the sub because she would be so disappointed. I got back on it when I did bc I was chasing pills again at the time.
Please help!!!

Hun you aren't a loser. You are an addict and turn to drugs to deal with the stress of life, job, family, because someone looked at you crooked,etc....
I am sorry the therapist canceled.
When do you see the suboxone doctor again?
Please don't drink anymore.
Keep the faith.

no need to self sabotage yourself!! Your NOT a loser you have disease, and its called addiction! It sounds like you want rehab, and i think thats great, start your research and look into rehabs, i personally had the privilege to go to a rehab and i think it saved me for sure!!!! Now that doesn't mean you don't have to do the work. Start your google search and contact some rehabs that interest you, as for your work, its mental health, no need to terminate your job. Owning up to yourself is taking ownership, your family will be proud that you are taking action and reclaiming your life back! reaching out for help is so very difficult, you and your family is worth it!!! Call your insurance company and see what they cover regarding mental health and rehabs. You are doing great thus far and recognizing you have a problem and admitting you need help, good for you, so now follow through.
Addiction is a Brain disease and we do not get off with just Willpower alone!!
Just like any other disease we need help & support.
What I do not understand is that if you are seeing a Sub Dr, most of them have you go to meetings and get some counseling while you are on this maintenance program. Also they do not let you mix a benzo while on subs and they test your urine almost every week or two.
You are very young and I am proud of you wanting out now. There is all kinds of help out here these days. I have used drank since I was 14 but i just thought it was recreational and as the 60-70-80-90s came in, and went out, it was all about the party..One day at the age 56 I came clean in 2012 off of 3 meds and it was like I went into a coma in my 20s and woke up in my 50s. Please do not let this take or control your life. It sounds like to me that you would do good by seeking some depression groups besides the AA/NA..Drinking with this Sub is a BAD mix and if your Dr knew you most likely would be kicked out, PLUS a BENZO..Man-O-Man you are playing with fire, heck you are walking in the coals.
When I was on my methadone I was adding a illegal drug to it to make it a better high like my crank days..I would take a Benzo late at night to come down..The BIG reason for me to come clean was that i was going to Die. I am not saying that you will, or to scare you, but I was standing up in my kitchen asleep for seconds here and there.I could of fell and hit my head or broke many bones or had a head injury...I also would just drop my bowl of cereal in my lap and wake up..It was just seconds and awake and passed out.It would not happen all the time only when I ran out of Dones or took a break and only used the klons. The dones were still in my system and turned to be coming a downer too..This is no fun and it will scare the you know what out of you..That was one of my BIG wake up calls..
Well I am so sorry to ramble but I have been off for awhile due to some medical issues here..I wish you all the best. Just know that Recovery is not meant to be walked alone. Please go out and seek support..You will be so jazzed you did..YOU are not alone! Hit some AA/NA and some more group support. Hit some of the churches because they offer many things too.
Bless U
