just took my first suboxone

Just took my first one.....I'm pretty sure my insurance will only help pay for this for 3 mo. so, I'm going to not put getting off of this to the last minute like I did with the methadone....Once I got to 10mg of the methadone....I could feel it comin', I have a child I have to take care of I can't just stop living.....I've been on a waiting list for a medical detox in my area but as you can imagine it is long...longer than I thought....I thought I had it all planned out ....... I was mistaken......

I think that the three months will give you enough time to work also on your recovery ... i have always heard here that sub works best if it is meant for a short term and as a tool to stay clean afterwards... look at this at a tool that will help you, focus on the positive now, you had other plans but this one is a good one.... exercise, eat healthy, take vitamins, mineral supplements .. hey, you can do it, trust yourself and go for it, ready2bfree  ALL THE BEST

how are you feeling ?
