102 days in and Feeling rough
Hello all. I am 102 days clean from suboxone today and I must say I am feeling pretty crumby. I keep crying and I have bad anxiety. I heard this is from coming off the drug and its long half life causing it for you to take so long to heal. My mind keeps telling me," This is horrible. It will never get better. It will only get worse. You cant do it. Your going to have to use." I combat it by saying these are only feelings they cant kill me, but using can. I got a SMART recovery book on its way in the mail, and I am attending a meeting this week. I just want to make it through this. I never want to use again.

there are some really useful tips in there anyway

Thanks you all. I am trying and it feels good when i come on here and vent. I go to a suboxone forum and they say what I am going through is extremely common. I am just not use to it though. I am feeling emotions I have never felt before. It feels wierd when i cry all day. I never use to cry at all. Now i cry for the silliest things.

Alcohol did that to me....I was feeling emotions I didn't even know I had....I don't know what the time frame is for suboxone...But I do know with alcohol...Every day I didn't pick up I got better.

I hope it's normal, and I hope it passes. It's been almost 5 months since I stopped drinking and I wonder if I will ever feel "ok" again. I have to believe it will get better - it certainly was worse 5 months ago, but inside I wonder...
