I guess its been a while since I have been on.. Maybe a week or so and I see all kinds of new names.. wow!! Good for all of you getting the courage to post and ask questions, there are so many good people on here.. And have been such a great help to me.. There are a few on here that have actually gone out of their way to help me by looking up doctor names and such that didnt have too.. Keep posting and sharing your progress.. Im on my way to getting better, seems like its taking forever but Im still going strong and havent given up.. I have had so many ups and downs since my first post in, GOSH... February I think.. But thanks to all the great support I have gotten from this forum I continue to stay.
Good luck to all of you. Stay strong and keep posting..

Hey all, I am feeling a bit better.. I must admit I had to take some pain pills for me to be this way.. Im so frustrated.. Today was day 3 of withdrawals and I was feeling really down. Lots of crazy thoughts going through my head, crying and severally rocking.. Along with the head cold it was pretty unbearable.. Didn't take my normal dose, so I guess thats a plus.. Just trying to stay positive and get to the 7th and quickly as possible.. There is light!! I have been reading up and doing lots of research on this suboxone thing... My husband has been asking his sister which I guess is on it also questions on what to expect.. I should call her myself but just have not been in the best of moods the last couple days.. I have a page filled front and back with questions and things about suboxone that I want to ask the doctor when I get there.. I signed the contract and sent that in, I was really hoping that I would have gotten in sooner.. Monday I was really hoping because I was in a 48 hour withdrawal and that would have been perfect.. Im not strong enough to quit cold turkey when the pills are in the house.. Just way to hard.. Im so tired of being this way.. My husband was concerned about this whole treatment thing, the driving and cost.. He was concerned that it wasnt going to work, but with all the stuff I have been reading its had a great report.. So I am looking forward to getting my life back.. Its been so long.. Still scared, I never did like myself when I was clean I have low self esteem and no confidence in myself and the pills gave me that.. But I cant keep living this false life anymore either, this isnt who I am. My husband also said he has noticed a huge change in me and thats not what I want.. Its not fair to him or me.. I just want to make it right.. :)
