Yesterday I hit my 19 month mark clean from a horrid 4 year opiate addiction and I feel compelled to write this so I can show people that it is possible to get off that poison. I was taking whatever opiate I could in order to just be "well" and make it through the day. I would have my husband drive me to hospitals all over because I was eventually red flagged at the one in my town. Looking back at the shell of a person I was makes me that much more grateful for the woman I am today. In all honesty, if I could kick a 250mg Oxy habit then any of you can. Remeraber, if you are currently in withdrawals, it is only a feeling and it will pass. I could never do cold turkey, I tried many times and lasted 5 days at the most. I finally turned to Suboxone and found an amazing dr who believed in me and here I am today. It is still hard and I did intensive outpatient treatment along with NA and continue to go to meetings and surround myself with others in recovery living a sober life. Some may not agree with the use of Suboxone, but it saved my life. Sorry for the rant. If anyone wants to talk, I sm always here. LinRABay
 
Congrats!!! 5 and a half months for me..... Cocaine, heroin, oxys, MDMA and July 7th was my last day......cold turkey then methadone treatment until now so not quite cold turkey....damn. I gotta re think this.

I've done the methadone thing in the past but it was to bridge the withdrawls from the heroin and oxys when I couldnt score. Now, its methdone only. Wish |I tried suboxone but whatever it takes to keep me off the street drugs.


congrats to you.!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Exactly, whatever it takes for you to stop using. Congrats and keep it up. One day at a time and remeraber, it's progress not perfection. LinRABay
 
Are you still on Subs after 19 months? If not, how long were you taking them for? Just curious, nothing more. tnx
