support off pills but stuck on suboxen

Ive been dealing with addiction since 13, i would steal my dads oxys and perks. Stupid but true, now im 25 and in march i lost my dad he was 45 and i know pills had a roll in his death, he had stage 4 lung cancer, but always since i remember been on the highest dose of everything, about a month before he died i heard about suboxen and i was willing to try whatever to kick the pills, but im still stuck, i take 2 milligrams a day and feel great, but a week ago i found out i was pregnant so i completely stopped. For 4 days i thought i was gonna die i remember wanting to die so the pain would stop, it was and is unbearable i caved and took 2 milligrams today. I feel really bad but im scared if going through that again. Any hope for me. I dont want to hurt my baby, i have a 4 year ild that needs me too and i feel like a bad mon when im withdrawling, any help is apreciated, found tbis site today and cant quit reading.

Welcome to the team! You definitely do not want to quit CT while pregnant. It's not safe for the baby. Please talk to and be honest with your OBGYN, and if they aren't familiar with subs then find an OBGYN that is. You can do this and we're here for you! Please talk to your doctor and keep us posted!

FIRST WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME! You have found the right place. As u have probably been reading you see that we all have a past with addiction and are working on our recovery. Its not easy but is totally doable. Congrats on the new baby. My advice is TALK WITH YOUR OBGYN and be very honest about what you are going through so the baby isn't harmed. I've met people here who were pregnant and developed a taper/detox plan with their doctors. Someone with more information than me will be along shortly to help you. I just wanted to drop in and say CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to stop. You really can do it!
