FarFrom: You’ve been given great advice already. Ladder is an awesome person to address your position and I second everything she told you.

I just wanted to touch on something about long term sub patients, like you both. Lots of people like to opine that it’s going to be harder for people who’ve been on sub for years and years. But on the other hand there’s Dr. Junig’s theory that by being on sub that long you’ll actually be BETTER prepared to live life sober. You had that much longer to prepare for life without intoxicating drugs along with the help of suboxone. I look at it like you used crutches while your broken leg healed instead of going right out again on a broken bone. So now when then time comes to run on that broken leg in a race, guess who’s better prepared? The one who let that leg heal properly….it’s one way of looking at it for me.

I think you’ll do great! Keep us posted.
