Wish me luck I'm going to attempt the 25mcg one more time

I'm going to try bumping down to the 25mcg patches one more time today. I hope and pray I can stick with it this time. I'm not looking forward to the w/d symptoms again. But one thing I noticed after last time is I felt amazing yesterday I wasn't tired or anything. So I think since I went into withdrawals for awhile it took some of the fentanyl out of my system. So I for sure now know this fentanyl is making me depressed and have zero energy. So that has given me the strength to try this again. I got a little taste of what it's like to have my life back. Now I just have to be strong and fight the horrible fight to get it back. I pray I can do this but if not I'm for sure going to go the subs route. Thank you for everyone that has messaged, commented or encouraged me I really appreciate it!!!

I tried but I just couldn't keep up with the kids and everything in my life with the w/Ds. So Tuesday I go in to get started on subs. What can I expect? I am determined to start weaning off the subs the 2nd day I'm on them. My hope is to be off everything at 1 month. I just need something to get my thru the worst so I can still function. Any advice?

I got up real early and seen your post. I see you floating around the post. I usally go into the methedone. However just wanted to tell you GREAT JOB  keep up the positive attitude... Like I always read alot here. Positive thinking...Get out of yourself..redirect yourself.. This is good stuff. I hear it alot at my meetings. Just a note I have had another addict come up and stay with my mom on my property. She was sooooo bad with her drinking that I had to put her in ER now she is 6 days clean. I was so scared of this because of my sobiety but my sponser said it would be good to get out of my self and they have all been here for support. I am really praying she will do good...... Give it to God... I just thought I would share this with someone. It sounds like you have all of that.
God Bless and Keep on Truckin forward and do not look back the blessing come flowing in!!!!!!!
