It disappeared.

My Suboxone  1/2 strip I had left in my purse just disappeared. I went to take a nap and left my purse in the living room. So either one of my fiancé kids took it or it fell out of purse which I don't know how that could have happened. I guess I'll never know where it went.

I too take Suboxone. I struggle with family memebers that have addiction issues as well. I bought a lockbox from Walmart for $10. Its a fire saftey box that's metal and includes two keys. Walgreens also has one that can be bolted into a dresser drawer and also has a keyed entry. I get 90 Suboxone strips a month with is 3 boxes.. I immediately lock them in my lockbox the second I get home for fear that one of my children may accidentally ingest it. Or that they may be stolen. I have 4 kids.. 18, 14, 13, & 5. Everyone of them were shown what my medication looks like and to never ever touch it. They know that it is a serious medication but only my 18 yr old knows exactly what its prescribed for. You should definitely consider buying a lockbox with having such a dangerous controlled substance in your home. If one of the kids or anyone for that matter ingested it, it can be fatal. Make sure you vacuum well. Your car too. Keep us posted. Good Luck!

I've decided that I will hide it in my room for now on and not in my purse at all.

Nobody knows I have it. And it was the other half dose. The 14 doesnt. But the 18 doesn't live with us and has her problems with cutting and I know she drinks sometimes and smokes weed sometimes but that's all I know about her. I hoping it fell out of my purse sometime. When I left the house and went to first meeting tonite  and it went well and I'll be going to another one tomorrow.  I had a long talk with my fiancé about. His feelings and how he feels about the meetings , he thinks that if I go to meetings I'll meet new "friends and that'll get me on other drugs or that I'll meet another man and cheat on him. He thinks that I was cheating on him these last 5 months of using. I told him I wasnt. I was just getting the pills and coming back home. I told him I need meetings this time. He said you didn't need them the last time you got clean. And I said that's probably why I relapsed cause I never dealt with anything that's inside me. He doesn't want me to make any addict friends or men for that matter. But he needs to know that me being clean is the most important  and that I need his support with what ways I'm trying to stay clean. He's a very jealous And insecure man. He thinks I'll cheat most of all. I told him I'm sorry and that the guilt was eating me alive and that's why I wrote a note and left it somewhere he'd find it. I told him that he needs to stop smoking weed cause I don't want to start using that cause it's in my face and of course he says I plan on quitting when I look for a job. But he's done this 3x already. And only lasted 2 days each time before he made to buy more. I know I need to worry about my addiction but his could jeopardize mine.

And do his kids take drugs? Would they even know what suboxone was if they seen it?
