Isn’t it such a relief? Weren’t you relieved when you finally admitted your problem to other people? I’m so glad that people responded well to you and were immediately supportive. I had a similar experience, in that I received a lot of grace and support. When I reached out to that first friend and asked her for help, I cried in fear, shame, and sorrow. But I also cried in plain relief. The fact that I wasn’t alone in knowing about my addiction anymore was priceless.

I started suboxone 4 months ago. I’m supposed to start tapering the end of April. The thought of cutting back is a little scary, but I’m also not adamant that I ever have to quit. I know that I can use suboxone as a tool whenever I need it.

Welcome to this forum! I have found the people here to be informative, caring, and supportive. I plan to stay here long past the time I stop suboxone, if I do.
