suboxone

why is suboxone so hard to quit

[HenryS354]

Congrats man!!!

Just remember that a HUGE part of this is a mind game, one that YOU have a certain element of control over!  This is where recovery starts....  Our lives become unmanageable, and we begin to take control over again!  Its a very empowering feeling, take the confidence you have now, and run with it! :-)

Try and keep yourself busy.  I know it seems like such a simple task, but I found that working during my detox while not pleasant was one of the best things I could do for myself.  I think subbin would agree as he worked most days during his detox as well.  It really helps to keep the mind busy.

As far as cravings and anxiety attacks.... just remember that 20 minute rule.  If you can get through 20 minutes, most anxiety and craving episodes will be over! Tell yourself, "Just 20 more minutes man"

Post here often, telling us what you feel, and all about your awesome progress!

When it comes to withdrawal and detox, we as addicts tend to over analyze everything! just try to get back to basics and keep it simple, and take it from there.

Well its been 26 hrs since I last took an 1/8th, and I slept well and woke up to a new world, and to my surprise I saw your post!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for yours and subbin's support.

Well anyway here's to a new and sober day!!!!

Look at you man!

Already thinking about biting the bullet!!! I think you are going to find that bullet is softer than you think! :-)

Keep your head in the game, and look out at your final goal.  Imagine driving down a road to an awesome destination that you see on the horizon.... along the way you have to drive through some rough neighborhoods... Keep looking straight ahead at that amazing place, and you will barely notice all the trash along the way!

You can do this no problem, and will be soon joining Nick and I  in helping other members by sharing your success story!

I know its in the middle of the night, but post when you wake up, and let us know how you're doing!

Heres to pullin for ya!
