Rum, I wish you the very best of luck. Glad you can see the light! I am hoping your WD symptoms ease quickly, and that you can start sleeping.
I’m going down slower. Am at 1 mg for over a week now, down from 3 mg back in early April. I have been very pleasantly surprised at the mild WD’s I have experienced going down in 0.5 mg steps. I won’t be going any further from here – long story short I’m having surgery next week that will require regular narcotics for less than 2 weeks. Not sure what I’m going to do about my suboxone after the surgical pain eases. It would sure be nice to have suboxone in my past – unless depression and cravings return. Subs have worked beautifully for me for 4-5 years, but I sure would like to be living life completely opiate free!
I hope you are bolstering your jump with NA or AA meetings. I’m an OLD addict – 59. I was raised on the 12 steps and they have helped me immensely over the years.
If you don’t have a crew off 12 step friends, I hope you have supportive family and friends helping you ease your way.
Again, good luck to you, may you get comfortable soon!
