I am on day 5 of suboxone and I feel great! I was given 14 8mg pills and the doctor has me on a plan to slowly taper over two weeks. I started May 17 and end June 1.

I have never felt better! I feel alive and like my old self again!

I am also in counseling and attending NA meetings.

Let the journey begin!
