Am I finally free after 40 hours of my last Suboxone?

I've been on opiates for years. I took anywhere from 2 to 6 norco a day but 3 was my average. I've been wanting to quit but the withdrawal symptoms got me every time. I took my last Norco at 7pm Monday. I took 4 mg of Suboxone Tuesday morning and another 4mg Tuesday at 5pm. I took another 4mg Wednesday at 5pm. It's now Friday morning and I'm feeling fine. I hear Suboxone withdrawal starts at day 3 but since I only took 3 doses I'm wondering if I'll have to deal with that. I have plenty more suboxone but don't want to take it unless I absolutely have to. Is this finally going to be it for me? Can I start getting optimistic?

You shouldn't have built up the subs in your system with just the 3 doses so I think on the subs your ok. They take about 72 hrs for w/d to kick in.
