I don’t agree with what this guys doing at all. I do agree that he is on a recovery forum asking to find alternative ways to "USE" Sub to get the feeling he wants to achieve. BUT all meds were made for a specific purpose even oxy and oxyctn. I know that I did not use those as prescribed "OPIATE ABUSE." He isn’t using Sub as prescribed "SUB ABUSE." So if you used any legit RX to obtain your high you can judge but you are hypocritical. It is exactly the same it is RX abuse. So if you take offense to his use then you should be angry with anyone that uses any RX in an abusive manner.

SNAP

So much of this stuff goes on here when people admit to misusing their Suboxone.

Sure most of us are in recovery now. There are SO many who previously abused opioids meant for legitimate painkilling purposes, doctor shopping and deceiving. What about all those people who were using their agonists responsibly AS prescribed, who were denied treatment or made to jump through hoops because so many of US were doing the wrong thing?

Now WE complain about the people who are doing to us on Suboxone exactly what we were doing to all those people! Hypocrisy is one label for it.

Have we conveniently forgotten that the abuse of opioids is a part of a DISEASE? That OP is a sick person in need of help? Even if he doesn’t want to quit the high YET, isn’t it better for his health and life to abuse a safer opioid like buprenorphine than risk his life piling on the agonists?

It totally discourages people in OP’s situation from becoming responsible Sub users if they leave here thinking responsible Sub users are hypocritical and lacking in compassion.
