I got into trouble with weed and after I got out of jail 3 months ago I picked up my last script of 15. I was at 3 8mg a day but had to taper. So I went down to a fourth of an 8mg every other day. Is it illegal to take my own script, 3 months after I stoped program. I test in 6-7 days and am so scared. I started working out big time. Im even doing a liver detox and drinking tons of water and eating right so I can get this stuff out of my system. Does anyone know if they test for subs on pretrial diversion?

Are you off the Sub now? If it is in any way possible, I would recommend you stay on until you get the other issues, like the UTI, are cleared up. No sense in starting out sick! I jumped at 0.5mg and my physical WD was very mild. Mentally, I had depression (yes, crying at the drop of a hat), extremely low energy, and a dragging, heavy feeling. That lasted about 3-3 1/2 weeks. After that it was really all uphill for me. Not saying I was 100%, but I was having more good days than bad – was functioning, taking care of kids, working, etc. As far as sleep… I was sleeping 6 hours a night (sometimes 3 +3 with a gap in between) by the end of the first week.
So in my humble opinion it wasn’t that bad. I know a lot of people read the worst horror stories on the web and literally make themselves sick thinking about how bad it’s going to be. It’s definitely doable. The worst thing is when you’re in it feeling like it will never end. But in the course of a lifetime 3-4 weeks is nothing. You have to give yourself a lot of positive self talk – I will get through this! This will be over soon! I’m going to be ok!

Oh and most important, have a plan for staying clean! A lot of people say they have no cravings, but then they get off the Sub and the cravings creep up. So be vigilant.
Good luck.

I don’t disagree with what you said, Amy, but I wanted to clarify things:

I apologize if what I posted yesterday put Amber or anyone else in an awkward position. That’s the last thing I wanted to do. I considered sending her a private message, but I wanted to post it where more folks could see it, and offer their support as well, if they so desired. I was not trying to make anyone feel obligated or coerced into contributing, nor do I see Amber’s last post as an attempt to do so. (I get that there are legalities involved…again, sorry if I screwed up in that arena.)

That said, I don’t regret getting the conversation started. Amber has been there for so many of us, and I think that–for those of us who wish to–it’s a great opportunity return one of the many favors she has done for us.
