Suboxone is not recovery.

I don’t doubt that you didn’t relapse for several years and your doctor was uninformed about things…. But my point wasn’t really about relapse as much. Suboxone will keep most people from using opiates and even other drugs/alcohol… In my opinion.

My point is that just not picking up, although a victory, isn’t looking at or working on the real problems that got us here in the first place. We created problems via active addiction and maybe have underlying issues from before we even picked up. These are the things that need to be worked on to truly get recovery. If you just don’t use then you are really short changing yourself. You can really open your eyes to such great rewards that living clean has to offer if you just work towards them via treatment or meetings or whatever.

I think suboxone is wonderful for opiate addicts. I would do it over and over again if taken back in time lol. But. I guess I’m sort of biased because of the rigorous treatment program I am part of… Just to get my suboxone. From meeting requirements, therapy sessions, doctor talks, and many other things that we all have to do to get our suboxone. I truly believe that this is a very difficult thing to recover from, but it can be done if you want it bad enough and work hard enough to get it.

These are just my opinions based on what I’ve seen work in the lives of many addicts time and time again.

Don’t focus so much on the drugs…. Focus on making yourself the best you that you can. Smile
