Day 10 n starting to feel human again. Aftercare?

[61chevy]

HI ALL
What an amazing site this is.  I "stumbled" across this when researching tramadol.  Took tram for 4 days n learned what it was n immediately stopped.  Today is day 10 off suboxone which I was on for 5 years.  l keep reading about the importance of aftercare.  I never want opiates to own me again so I am listening.  But I am not a fan of NA or AA.  If I went to a private therapist once a week and also had an accountability partner I could call anytime, can that b an effective aftercare program?  Any comments are appreciated.
Anyone going thru days 1-7......hang in there!  It gets better!
God Bless'
My prayers are with you all.

I'm not an NA/AA person either.  Seeing a therapist and having an "accountability buddy" work for some. Here are some other aftercare options that have free group settings. You can google them for more info.

Hi, once we get to the point where you are, we forget about the terrible cravings we once had. The key to staying off these meds is always remember that it can happen again and the least temptation should be taken seriously.
If the thought comes into your mind that just taking one or 2 would be ok, JUST SAY NO to quote a popular phrase.
