trying to get it right this time

I have started my suboxone treament on September 2nd. So I have been clean since the 1st. I am a ten year veteran of opiates. I am still afraid of how to live my life without being on anything. I think right now that scares me the most. I will have my first meeting tomorrow evening. I really am trying, my brain is still all kind of fuddled right at the moment. I am looking forward to reading and posting here, nice to see others who have gone through this, you know?

Hey, Lady,

Welcome to SR! I'm an alcoholic, so I don't have any experience with opiate addiction. But there are plenty of folks here who have, and I expect they will be along shortly.

Hope your meeting is good--I find it really helpful to be with other people who "get it".

Welcome,

I'm glad you found us.

I think many of us have gone through the fuddled brain thing, and I am sure you will notice a positive change soon.
