this is the best thing that could have ever happented to us...after posting my story and reading other memebers stories...i was very intrigues on something i kept reading about...

some had posted about how a drug called suboxone was a life saver for them...and there were some who said it wasnt...but it sounded right for us...after a week or more, we finally got up the courage to call a dr and we got an appointment...and as of last thursday, we have been 6 days lortab clean...

even though we are taking another drug, it still feels fantastic...in the 4 years that we were on tabs, we never went a day without...in order to get the suboxone we had to be 12 hrs clean...well we did 36, and my god i give so much praise to those who are c/t or tapering...that was the worst feeling...

i can say we owe our lives to this forum and mean it...there are wonderful people with wonderful stories, good or bad...everyone has something to share with others that could save their lives, or just help them throug the day...

as most know our inspirations are our 2 beautiful daughters, ages 4 and 21 months...you just have to ind your own inspiration...

if i can help anyone, or answer a simple question, that is my motive for staying here...

i love all you guys, and we thank you so much for helping us to get our lives back...

keeping you in our thoughts and prayers...love, natasha
