Randy, just wanted to say that I believe you are doing what is best for you and your situation. At the NA group I attend, you only must have the desire to be clean and be committed to being clean. I have not observed people not being able to speak if they are on a program where the goal is to have the individual completely free of drugs. Perhaps others have had different experiences. At any rate, I am glad you are doing this with the assistance of a doctor and therapist. I am holding you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
Minn

I am so glad I read your post as I have been trying to detox since Last July. I have been in and out of detoxing so much I feel like I will never get clean. Anyways my last detox in December was successful I did it all CT. Unfortunately Feb came and I started using again.I am an opportunity high seeker. I use till my doctors won't prescribe anymore and then I detox and I am so tired of this lifestyle it is so painful and exhausting all the way around. I am trying to get as much knowledge about suboxone before I consider it. So don't be surprised if you get a msg from me if you don't mind! :)

Thanks Dane. I understand the concerns and I knew when I told you guys how I was trying to get clean there would be some disagreement. I wish I was able to survive cold turkey and be fine, but it didnt work. So here I am. Thanks for the support even though you don't agree with the method.

i totally agree with you.  Everyone's journey is different and it does no good to bash someone else's plans, at least everyone here is trying. Trying different methods at getting clean, including rehab and suboxone in the past was part of what made me strong enough to get to the point to finally quit this time around. And because of everything I tried in the past, I now know that I will not take my current quit for granted.  But it took me a long time to get to this point, and alot of lessons and self discovery along the way. I just have much respect for addicts who are actually addressing their addiction.  Sadly, there are many more addicts out there that may never get to the point of at least trying to break free.

I agree however you can not make anyone listen you can only offer advice with the best of intentions and let it go from there!
