HOW DID I DO IT??? 30 NORCO A DAY HABIT, COUPLED WITH 15 40MG OXY'S, AND IM STILL STANDING? AT HOME? NOT IN A MENTAL INSITUTION, NOT IN A HOSPITAL. SITTING HERE WATCHING MY PLASMA ON MY COMFY BED TYPING ON A LAPTOP.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY AGAIN.
HOW DID I DO IT? *I SAW A POST ON HERE ABOUT SUBOXONE TREATMENT, GOT EDUCATED ON IT, PRAYED AND MADE A DECISON. WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IF I DIDNT SEE THAT POST. A PILL THAT WILL TAKE WITHDRAW SYMTOMS AWAY. I JUST COULDNT BELIEVE IT.
BUT IM HERE TO SAY YES IT IS AND I AM SO GRATEFUL, THANKS

Awesome!! Glad to here you are doing so good, and that you have such a positive outlook on your recovery. You are doing great. Best wishes to you.

Congrats Cant! Comfy bed? Plasma tv? Scooch on over, I'll be joining ya soon! Can we watch
Lifetime? LOL...no really...Thats great and keep up the good work and positive attitude!

cant, my thoughts exactly. i NEVER would have heard of subutex had it not been for here. if i had not gotten help, im almost sure i would be dead or wish i was. i would have absolutely nothing. i was spending my entire paycheck and half of my BF's every week on pills. thats around $2000 a month. how crazy is that?? now i spend $40 a MONTH and fell 1000% better. thanks PW!

I'm so happy for you, congratulations!!! and you should be really proud of yourself. This website is wonderful, I never would of learned about kratom, which is on it's way to my house. Keep up the good work.

Cheers for you,you got the monkey off your back...only when ya want it bad enough will it happen..LIFE IS GOOD...

THANKS GUYS,

DAY 3 AND ITS ONLY GETTING BETTER. I WENT BACK TO THE DOC TODAY AND HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO UP MY DOSE OR LOWER IT OR KEEP IT THE SAME, THAT IT IS UP TO ME. HE SAYS ITS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BE COMFORTABLE SO I DONT GO BACK TO HYDRO. WOW. WOWSER.

MISTY, I LOVE LIFETIME!!!

SXYRED,
THE SAVINGS IS INCREDIBLE ISNT IT? AND FEELING BETTER AND NOT HAVING THE SECRETS AND LIES. SO U ARE ON SUBUTEX? WHATS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THAT AND SUBOXONE?

What a beautiful thing..I am so glad for you..

There is peace and light in your life because you made a decision that was right for you..

Take care, and keep us updated, k?

KATERINA AND ROSIE,
THANKS AND I WILL.
IM A LITTLE FREAKED OUT RIGHT NOW THOUGH. I WAS TALKING WITH SOME PEOPLE THAT SAID SOME BAD THINGS ABOUT SUB, WASNT THEIR EXPERIENCES THOUGH, BUT KNEW OF OTHERS, AND THEY SAID IT WASNT GOOD ONES. THAT IT WAS BAD WITHDRAWS AND THAT UR BASICLLY STILL [censored] UP. SO NOW IM REALLY LOST

Isn't that always the way? One works hard to dig their way out of a dark, scary pit only to be greeted by skeptics or criticism on the very tools they used to help them climb out of their self-destruction? While I am sure those who have provided these secondhand experiences mean no harm, and are simply concerned for you, remember that YOU are responsible for managing your own recovery. I sometimes give advice to keep friends out of harm's way, too, but I know that ultimately, they have the option of how to use that advice.

Listen, you are doing this the right way; with the support and educated guidance of your doctor, and that is key. I admire you. Congratulations and listen to your doctor who has the credentials to guide you.

This is YOUR journey; you were feeling GREAT earlier. Perhaps you can present these concerns to your doctor, who can answer them and put you at ease.

Either way, we are all rooting for you!


Love,
Serenity

VERY WELL SAID SERENITY, i have a great caring doctor, but in the end who is going to care more if im addicted to the sub, and have to go thru the same detox that u have to with oxy and hydro..... the doc that is getting 150 a week + or my friends who talk smack. see why im confused???

Cant,

How are you doing today? I have read your posts here, & there & across the board. You, KIKI,(great person) and alot of others. I too need/want to kick the habit that began 5 years ago wtih a back injury. My hydro usuage at this time, and for the last 8 months, is a little higher than yours was before you started the detox. I congratulate you! CONGRATULATIONS CANT!

I too, am also mixed up as to what route to go. I began with thinking I would do the RadidDetox- I don't care HOW much it costs. My daughter in law, bless her heart, told me yesterday, her friend who works in a methadone clinic, has seen those patients during detox at a Rapid Detrox facility. She said they SCREAM OUT LOUD & PUKE terribly- all while under the anesthesia! I don't get it? How can you puke while sleeping and not die???????It sound VERY dangerous, does it to you? DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS AND IF ITS REALLY TRUE?

I do have very caring pain doctor who does not know I have 'upped' my dosage of hydo. He also has bupe & sub facilities. I just feel terrible to have to confess all this to him- I feel like I let him down.

I am not looking for advice from you at this time- I know how well you are doing with your detox and do not want to cloud your mind with my problems. Your posts are just the ones that stuck out- thats all.

GOD BLESS YOU.......................and ME!
