I was in the same boat as you! I couldn't go into a inpatient treatment program because of work and my kids, so I did about 6 months of research and I decided what was best for me and my kids and my career was to get on suboxone. I am still living with back pain, and i don't know what the future is going to bring, but atleast I don't wake up in the morning needing that oxy. Keep us updated!
