Good Morning,
Some of you may remember me from about a year ago - but probably not. I posted a few times about how I was detoxing on my own, but shortly after that I fell off.
Well, anyway, now I'm doing well and have my first 18 days of sobriety in, well, ever. I'm currently on less than .5 mgs of Suboxone, or a 16th of an 8/2, which is a tiny crumb or sliver of a strip, which the doc calls a "mental health dose," meaning the depression is going to hit me hard if I jump off entirely and I don't want to jeopardize my sobriety. I feel awesome though, and things are really coming into focus for me. In other words, I'm getting my priorities straight. I'm hitting meetings as much as possible, focusing on work, finishing up my masters, and my family.
I don't know necessarily what the point of all this is, other than I couldn't get to a meeting today and wanted to put my feelings out there somehow.
To anyone else wondering if they can make the leap off abusing opiates, (I quit drinking, weed, coke, etc. also obv) I say you can. Not that I'm out of the woods, but I feel super positive, and contrary to what I predicted, I'm not that bored. There's actually a lot of **** to do sober, including a lot of **** you may have neglected.. I know I did.
So, just want to say peace to all the other people sober or struggling to be out there, and Happy Sunday.
