I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends & Myself

Hey, Everyone!

I'm down to 2.5 mgs of Suboxone per day. Beginning Sunday, I'm taking 2 mgs of Suboxone per day. I will be finished with treatment - completely clean - within the next few months. Like I said before, I'm letting nature guide me.

I am no longer attending NA meetings, but this does not mean that I do not have a support system filled with people who truly love me, support me and want to see me succeed. I am in no short supply of supportive people in my life.

I think that NA is a viable option for people who do not have clean, sober, supportive people in their lives. Perhaps someday, if all of the supportive people in my life go away, I will need to return to NA. I hope not.

Truth be told, I was not impressed with many of the behaviors of people in NA, both inside and outside of the rooms. Let me clarify my opinion by stating that each area practices principles differently. However, in my area, there is a great deal of control involved, particularly with regard to the old-timers. I'm looking to be free from external control, not to re-engage with it in another form.

I feel fantastic today: independent and free. Life is good. Recovery from addiction is possible. We can live the lives that we've always wanted to live. It just takes discipline and hard work.

Love,
Sugar xo
