I am down to approx a quarter of an 8 so about 2mg a day.
Hell yeah bro! It's all a matter of will power now!
Dude I am so damn proud of you bro!!! You sincerely put a smile on my face reading your post. You are a fucking warrior man. You beat the unbeatable. At this point there is literally absolutely nothing that can stop you from anything you want to do with your life. I have so much respect for you and your wife overcoming that crisis called opiates. It is Satan himself IMO. Just the fact that you have made it through what you have made it through is the baddest ass achievement man. I know I will never look back and I know you know what I'm saying.
Right back at you brother!!! Hardest thing I've ever done. You know exactly what Im talking about! I am proud of you and your wife too, man!!! Even more so because you guys traded your addiction for opiates for an addiction to living a fit and healthy life. Its the way to go man for sure!!
I will be following in your footsteps on the bupe ween. I am going to scale down to 1mg this week and started this morning. You inspire me bro. When a person walks through the flames of hell his / her soul is forged into steel from the fire. God bless you and your wife and I'm happy that I got to be friends with you brother! Keep it pushing !!!
God bless you too, brother. You and your family! Dude and obviously this goes without say but i'll say it anyway, if you ever need to talk (like you're feeling like relapsing) give me a shout out first I will talk you down bro (which I am sure you may never need this but the offer is ALWAYS there). Good luck to you on your ween I KNOW you can do it and I'm glad you're thinking the same way. FUCK being on this shit for life man. I laughed at my doctor the other day. She told me that "research shows people who stay on the suboxone treatment for over a year have a better chance of staying sober" Dude that's such bullshit. IF I am going to relapse, no amount of subs are going to stop me. Period. I WANT to be sober. I think it's just a matter of time. The longer we stay sober the easier it is to tell ourselves that doing drugs is a TERRIBLE idea. I certainly don't want to be on the subs forever. My body hates it. I told her (my doctor) after a few months I wanted to ween down. Let's go to 4mg I said. She strongly suggested 6mg. So I agreed. But dude, I took 1 2mg subutex instead of the total 6mg and I was fine. I was more tired than usual for the first few days but once my body adjusted, my energy levels came back. Been taking 1mg for about a week now and I am more tired than usual (and go into sneezing fits I am sure you know what those are like) but other than that I am good. I don't really get cravings anymore and when they do come they go just as quickly. Staying busy is key to our success!
Anyway, sorry for the rant but good luck to you and your wife brother stay safe, healthy, and sober! God bless you man!
P.S. I am happy to have made friends with you as well!
