Actually, Vinters post was not inappropriate at all- it only would have been in the 12-Step forums. Why is everyone so opposed to opiate maintenance programs? Are you all jealous or resentful or something? Sheesh, live and let live! I tried NA and while I got 9 months clean, I was miserable and thought of getting high every minute of those 9 months. All the praying, step-writing, basic text-thumping was useless against the cravings, sorry to burst ya'lls bubbles. I have been on Suboxone for 6 weeks and plan to stay on it forever. I am no longer imprisoned by cravings, I am living the full and productive life I was always meant to live. If you all want to call me a functioning junkie and "not really clean", go right ahead. "Living well is the best revenge." You have my full support, Vinter.  |
Thanks. I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed how disrespectful and disgusting it was. You should stay on suboxone for the rest of your life in my opinion. If you went nine months clean and didn't experience a moment's relief, then I doubt you ever would have. Some people can get completely clean and stay that way, some of us can't.
I refer back to "quality of life"... while the basic-text-thumping (I like that term, I'd like to borrow it if you don't mind) crowd attends meetings and focuses on a non-existant disease they claim to have for 20+ years, me and you will be working, having children and enjoying our lives.
Nuts to all who oppose me! NUTS I SAY! lol :P
