's message, "My suboxone experience" on 16:40:04 09/05/04 Sun
I just wanted to share my experience and ask a few questions if anyone has the answers. I have been in treatment twice, the 2nd time i lost everything and got willing to do whatever it took to stay clean, so as suggested i attended meetings, got a sponser (joined NA) etc. it was the best time of my life for once i started liking who i was (which I've never done my whole life). I was able to stay clean for 6 months and then quit doing the things necessary to stay clean and used (imagine that). I have been struggling with staying clean since christmas i can get a few days but that's it. Now i'm to the point where physically i can't get off of them. I don't want to be on a pill forever because from my expeirence through Na i know it's possible to live clean and be happy it's just getting back there. My question to you guys is are there withdrawls from Suboxone even if you took it in quarters and if so how severe?
Thanks for letting me share on your website and hope to here from you soon!
Thanks!
