Aa
how are you people.
i posted a week ago or so and the support from you has been an amazing thing... you people are truly some of the most genuine kind of people and that was and is refreshing... coming up on 2 weeks away from long term suboxone maintenance. tough thing to have done and am still rough at time. that being said for all that it has done for me it was a kick in the butt to go thru sickness.... AGAIN..... i got on it to stop using heroin and guess what... that happened. for me it came time to be seperate from all of it because although i was growing up a little thru working a program of recovery it was in between me and where i was wanting to go. that place isnt anything extravagant... but it is my hearts desire to be of use. 43 years i had taken from everyone... everything.. chaos followed me and frankly i thought it was the cards i had been dealt.... well that was a lie. thats what our addictions are.... they are lies. they want us to fear withdrawl sickness, they want uds to fear death and overdose and put us in places we have no bussiness being. somehow we live thru it and yet still cant recognize that God had His hand on us the whole time....i ahve seen it on the other hand where God may have just said ok person. i am giving you over to your hearts desire... i have seem this disease kill my cousin, a good friend just last year, and a few more in the small community i live in... thank God He has given my eyes to see and ears to hear... we are in for a fight for our very lives and yet want to allow fear to stop us from making a decision. that decision is to live and be free and to be an example of the power to overcome. i dont want to have answer God when He asks me... after all that I did...why didnt you overcome? why did you lack faith in Me and believe that lie.... go away from me sir. i never knew you.... i know that is heavy and by no means am i pushing my beliefs on you. i am only giving to you what happened and how it has been for me.... my down and dirty ultimate hearts prayer is simply this.... first of all screw it... screw it God everything is exactly the way it is supoosed to be... i dont like it... it hurts but please God give me eyes to see and ears to hear. may i be an example to those i may be of help of Your love and Your power. You have done for me what i couldnt do... allow me to recognize my part and help me to be of us to those you send my way. your will be done God.. i dont suggest cussing at Him but i did. Screw it is not the word i used... you know what he did??? He recognized my heart... He showed up.. trust me i have tryed to use the right words and tryed in my own vain way to seek Him. i think He must of g=had a laugh or two at my ability to be so fake. but when i shared my heart... He showed up... i hope this encourages someone today. we are in this together... thank each of you for taking time to be here on this site. you people are great examples of Gods love for each one of us....thanks again
Thank you for your post. I have been having a rough day and it lifted my spirits and reminded me of who is really in charge! I am on day 21 of quitting suboxone after roughly 2 1/2 years of being a slave to it. Today is hard, tomorrow might be as well,but God has put me exactly where I am supposed to be.
First off....I have never "officially" welcomed you to the forum...So WELCOME!!! It's GRAND to have you aboard~
You truly HAVE encouraged someone today...I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post!! You have been given eyes to see and ears to hear and YOU ARE!!! And 12 days off subs now?? WOOOEEE!!
And you ARE an example of the power to overcome....I relate to your journey is many ways...though I was a pill user and ignorantly went on subs for just 28 days.
You may have already read that 21 days is about the "average" amount of time it takes for the subs to leave....course our dose and the amount of time on subs is a huge factor, too.
Is your "handle" Cheche? Cause every time I read it, I get this mental image of Cheech and Chong....doing their comedy routine about "Dave"...ROFL
Keep rocking your recovery......you are a delight~
