Without suboxone, what kind of recovery would you have?

Many people are tapering and jumping because they feel fine and went to a few meetings, but have no idea how they will feel off suboxone.

I just want to post this due to my experience and thousands of others…

I got off for almost a year. I don’t take anything other than suboxone when on it. That’s how this works best.. But… I started using other drugs and finally opiates again. I remember always telling people about how much better I would be (emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) if I would just go back to suboxone.

I didn’t do any recovery work on myself at all, just took suboxone, and thought I was good to go after a couple years.

It’s so important to remember to still work on yourself while on this stuff. That’s what it’s for. To get you better faster so you can focus on yourself.

So. I didn’t want to die. I started back on suboxone and really started educating myself and working on my recovery full time.

That was the best decision I ever made.

If you want to do what I did, good luck with that, it sucks a lot. For a long time.

But if you want off and plan to stay clean and off suboxone, you gotta plan on being totally, full on, all the way, involved with a 12 step fellowship.
That’s how that works. You don’t just get better by taking suboxone and can just put all this behind you after a couple years.

Again. This is my experience and opinion. I just watch it happen to many addicts on here, in clinic, Ect. I have watched too many die because they felt like it was "bad" to take this medicine.

Get over it. Get better. Get happy.

Or don’t.
