I am in the same position with two kids to care for but I'm almost on day 4 and it is a struggle but I can tell you this, I would not have made it this far without the support of the people here.  The wd ***** but get some immodium, crackers and some ibuprofen and you can do it c/t.

Hi,

If you can buckle down and quit ct without the use of Suboxone or Methadone you will get this over with much quicker. And you admitted to abusing the Suboxone so I don't know how that will help. If you are not going to use it properly and do the whole program then what is the sense, right?

Going ct you will be uncomfortable for 4 or 5 days and then the physical will be over. We can help you through that. The mental part is something I strongly suggest you get outside support.

Stick around, let us know what you have decided to do and we will support you. Best of luck.

2 to 3 packs of heroin??

well i started sniffing the subs at the end last time and it seemed they really gave me a buzz .since i have moved on to bigger and badder things i dont think that approach will work .i did not receive any aftercare before but since i am determined to quit i will take any advice i can get .by the way i have been sniffing anywhere from 2 to 3 packs a day .
