Marie's Friday in Detox Center

Hi Friends, I haven't been nearly as in touch as I wish to have been while here in this rehab center.  I came here because after detoxing for 4 months on my own (from Opana ER), I realized that I couldn't even figure out how much help I still needed.  After being at this rehab center for a week, I don't have  Opana in my system anymore.  I am now on Suboxone (4mg two times a day).  I have heard all the warnings about Suboxone, and plan to be off it within 1 1/2 weeks.  I sure hope I feel well enough to function.  I pray I can get through it all.  I am planning on going to a two week program, and now I really just want to be home with my 8 year old.  But, I am going to put those thoughts behind me, and toughen up--because I am blessed to be able to even have these opportunities.

I just want to say I love you all.  I wouldn't be here without each of you.  And I will do a better job of staying in touch.  Truly, you mean so much to me.    Marie

Marie, good thinking on the suboxone.  Don't wanna stay on that too long or it becomes another drug that you must just find the strength to get off of.  I'm glad you found rehab to be helpful.  Opana is a big, bad one to get off of.  I took it for a few months one time, and it was NOT cool when I had to quit.  NOT cool at all!  

Try to keep your eye on your main goal of being drug free, and you'll get there! : )  It can happen with some good support in aftercare!  Promise!  Good luck to you!
