Wow you hit it right on the head. Reading this post gave me chills all over. I've been on oxy's for 16 years. And fentanyl for 10 of the 16. So the only way that your going to stop it being sick and tired of being sick and tired. To look at H and oxy as a bad thing not as a way to feel better. "If I just take this I'll feel better" f*** that s***. If I take this I'll lose everything that I am and everything I want to be. That's more like it. Stay strong you can do it only use sub for 5 days on a hole one and 10 days on a half and 10 days on a 1/3 then done. That's that.

Your not healing your brain. You get withdrawals because opiates that have stimulated your brain are gone, so you take Subs to take the place. Your brain doesn't differentiate between Opiates and Subs. All it knows is your still providing an opiate. Subs may assist you in changing your lifestyle but not repairing your brain..lol. Stop your Subs and see how repaired it is.

this nonsense that you take Subs to repair your brain sensors is nonsense. opiates do have a reaction on your brain and stimulate your receptors and you have that feel good feeling. when you stop your brain reacts to the loss of the drug. Subs are an opiate and replace the one you used, it is a modified opiate and does not give one the same feeling full opiates do but they do resolve the withdrawals. Subs have a long half life and this makes it easier to taper off. Subs are addictive and cause withdrawals they do not cure/repair any brain cells..lol. Subs do nothing for the mental reasons you take opiates and you need to address that. If you are 110% committed to quitting and changing almost every aspect of your current life than Subs are a great detox tool. Try and start on the lowest amount possible, follow a taper plan and get off Subs as soon as possible. Remember almost 90% of the work begins after detox. Change friends, diet, stay busy, seek help and stay committed because it will get better and you will never have to go through this process again

This is my first post EVER on anything. I want to say Thank you for sharing your story; I read the whole thing and it gave me hope. I have been taking pain meds for a couple years and have tried to kick a few times. I have legitimate medical issues that cause a lot if pain and it takes a toll on every aspect of my life. My scripts run out weeks early, they run my life and everything has to be planned according to whether or not I'll have pills (I'm sure we're all too familiar).
Here is the kicker; about seven days ago, I found out I (me, husband, and son) will be welcoming a new baby into our family. Understand that I have a pretty great life (aside from addiction); we own a small business, tidy cozy small home, and a happy loving family. I've always been a straight laced woman with strong morals and values. (Addiction has no prejudice). Now I feel like a PoS because I'm in this situation. I have a doctor's appointment next week but I've cut down drastically. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard spot and trying to keep a safe balance. I try to take little as possible without going into wd. I know neither is good for little bean. I have gone through wd for almost 24 hours and just took 1/4 of Sub 8mg strip to ease the symptoms.
I'm sure many will frown upon my story, but I too have a story that someone else can relate to. If one person feels as though they aren't alone in their situation then I'll take all the negative remarks; I'm prepared for them.
I have new reason, it's not only for me this time. I wasn't prepared, nor did I plan for this to happen but I view this as a blessing to help me do my best. This baby is making me find the strength to take back control of my life and maintain sobriety. Once I get through this, I'm done. I'll deal with my pain with a smile on my face just thankful to have my life back. This is my chance and Im grateful to have this drive, a new beginning.
Thank the good Lord above; most the time I don't understand his ways but I always trust in him to lay a path in front of me.
Thanks for reading and even understanding. These threads are a major part of my fight. Keep up the good work and know there is an end to the suffering with a brand new beginning.
Good bless

Thank u so much matt. I read ur whole post and i want my life back. I've been dealing with this addiction since i was 19. I am 29 now. I am sick and tired of all the bulls***. I have been clean a few times in the past and messed up and now i am using suboxone to stay off but i have messed and used while being on it and i opened that door again. I am done. I dont want to live like this anymore. I hate everything about this drug called heroin. It sucks. It's taken so much from me and i just want it gone. I just want to say thank u matt. I want it to be done and i am ready to start over and become the man i should be bc i became a fuctioning addict and still that's no way to leave. I work all week and blow all my money on herion. I am done. Thank u again matt.

Who's being judgemental now. NA is merely a microcosm of normal society. You'll find good and bad there. And though it does not corner the market on recovery, it can and does work. I know many people who have double digit years clean. To each his own.... Just stay clean...

You reached that one addict. Everything you just said hit home so closely. I've been on heroin for about a year now (at least dosing every day, the first time I took it was two years ago, not knowing what the f*** I was messing with. Holy s*** I know now.) I've got 4 suboxone strips. I am ready to get my life back. I know this was from forever ago, and I don't know if you're even going to see this. But I hope you made it. This post gives me so much hope. I'm tired of getting dope every day. I'm tired of taking it to feel okay. I want to live my life again. I see people on the street and I'm so jealous. Happy and healthy with out drugs. This drug has taken so much from me, but the f***ed up part is I've given it to it willingly. I'm done. I don't want to live like this anymore. I need to get clean and turn my god forsaken life around or I will end up dead or in jail. I almost failed out of college last semester because of this f***ing drug. Enough is enough and your words seriously just helped me so much. I want to feel like you in this post. Please, if you have relapsed... I don't want to know. Because you give me hope. I can do this. Thank you so much.

Your post is a big help. I have been on pain meds for over six but never started taking more than I should until a year ago. This is day two using subs. I have some sweats and ached but nothing like when I tried to cold turkey. I have a half sub left. I'm determined and your post has helped in a big way. Thanks.
