Thanks, it is your story that has actually made my worrying go down. I said earlier that I wanted to be done Nov. 22 just like you, and so I made a taper plan and yes you are right, what I have left right now will be plenty. This is actually a good way to get me to stick to my "quit date" because otherwise I may have just taken that suboxone for a lot longer.

A lot of the freaking out was me scared about my friend. He has helped me throughout my several jumps and now I have 0 people to talk to (away from the computer) about this. But… I looked up the jail records on the internet and sure enough I found what jail he is at and looked at the charges, and it looks like he got caught either buying drugs or doing drugs in the car and he had drug paraphernalia. So, that means he was probably trying to cop dope and had a needle on him because that’s the only reason he would have drug paraphernalia and possession b/c if it was subs that wouldn’t make sense because he has a script. Plus I could tell in the pic that he was real high. He finally started on subs just a month ago too and said he was going to quit before me but some time last week I know he slipped up once and well, it looks like that slip-up was not just a once-time. And we used to go around doing all of those things every day that he got caught doing. That could have been me. I really can’t believe that we didn’t get caught before and I am really really glad that I started subs when I did and this has kind of put everything in perspective for me and I think that it kind of knocked me in the head and made me wake up and look at this whole mess I am in and realize that Yes I need to stop NOW.

And seriously.. I think that I am freaking out? He was doing 12 mg of subs every single day until he switched to dope again last week so you know that he was doing a ton of dope and I know that this particular jail does not give inmates comfort meds like how some jails do, and they don’t let them have their own jail cell that is padded like how other jails do — he has to be out with everyone else in the noisy area. So really… I should be thankful that I have never had to withdraw while in jail like how he is right now.
