hi I don't know about sub wd. I can tell u from my experiance that if you don't get into some kind of treatment then u r at risk for abusing suboxone and from what I understand the withdraws r bad, that being said if u get into a treatment out or inpaitient  suboxone can be  helpful  first with withdrawls and second getting you to start getting involved in ur treatment. it is not the end all save all again from my experiance with the suboxone it has saved my life it has gotten me to therapy and learning the tools i need to stay alive I have never abused sub I take as I'm told to and the doc and therapst have a plane of cars inplace for me and that is what I'm doing and it's working for me when it comes time I will be very slowly tapper off as a dr.orders I abused druges before I want to work on my addiction and this is what is working for me today please let me know what u decide.and I hope I was helpful and if u have tried the cold turkey and it hasn't worked this might be something you want to try best of luck you are in my prays.

Hope we don't lose you during the worst of the storm......but you know what I just thought of?

TWO teenagers without their cell phones and computers LOL!!!  It might just be a God ordained opportunity...ha!  Playing cards or board games "like the ole days" would really bond you in a new way with your kiddos and them with each other.....and them with you!  How great would that be?  And just think.....it wouldn't be "mom" suggesting it?
You might even belly laugh with them:)

Books are so good for our imaginations, too, and sometimes we don't give ourselves permission to "just  be" once in awhile.  I'll keep you and yours lifted up.......be safe.  

You are doing so good, Ann!!!

my doc was pain meds in pill form and I would take fistfuls evey hour I was awake. I have alot of work to do on myself there r many resons that I self medicated. I chose the path I am on It right now today is the one I need to be on I'm comfortable with the team I am working with and all the tools that entails everyone is different and has a different story to tell . One day hopefully my friend on this site I will tell my story . I understand the many issues and feeling that people have about suboxone but for me right at this moment all I can say is it saved my life !!!! and got me in to the therapy I so truly need. dr. and the therapy team have came up with my plane of care  and will be going about my treatment the best we can I hope I answered ur questions and I hope I gave you insite in to my treatment did u have an experiance with suboxone?

I'm close to quitting my pain meds forever, I'm tryin to find the best route to take. I think suboxine sounds like a good choice. The reason I havnt started is I DON'T know anything about suboxine. Are the withdrawls from them as dificult as oxysh
