I thought i'd made it... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Where do I begin or where do I fit in? The story of my life.. This is my first post and find this site somewhat overwhelming. I feel like I qualify for many of these categories which is really sad but here goes...

The reason I decided to post was because I don't go to meetings and don't have any real support. Don't get me wrong, I have tried them but felt like it wasn't for me so save your sermon. I don't have anyone I can talk to. I hope I will find someone here that will listen & understand and I will do the same.

I began taking rx pain meds 10 yrs ago and was hooked ever since. At the end I was taking 30+ a day before I started on methadone. I was on that for a few years and detoxed off it. I stayed clean for about a year then started using again. Shortly after I was placed on suboxone and been on it for 3 yrs now. I have been slowly detoxing over the past year and am now on 2mg. I got down to 1mg but simply could not function.

I really thought I was going to be able to get off them but that did not happen. I have to work so I need to take it to get through the day. I have shaved crumbs off a 8mg tablet b4 but it's so hard to measure the dose. I am soo close and truly want off them so I would appreciate anyone's advice especially if you've successfully detoxed off them.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to this site.

Sorry I don't really have much experience in that area I just thought I'd say you might try posting this in the newcomers forum or the substance abuse forum as those two have more people and you might get a quicker response.

All the best to you.
