owe you all an apology

This forum has really opened my eyes. I was so smug thinking I was doing so well and offering advice to everyone and now that I have learned a few things I owe you all a huge apology. I've been pouring over the "Health Pages" and I am now much wiser. I had been in bed for 2 years tapering and sinking until 3 mos ago when I got my self into treatment. I don't think the treatment facility even knows what I know now. If they do they sure don't want to let the news out and I do see that the condition I was in required action of some kind and the Suboxone seemed like a miracle. I've been running around telling everyone to get on suboxone and my recovery appeared to be so unbelievably wonderful. I was back in the world... I thought. now I an thanking God that my many addict friends did not follow my lead as once again I've gotten myself in a worse jam. And was compleately blindsided. i'm still a bit confused as to why I feel so normal. I read the life of this drug is 72 hours that is why Im not in trouble yet I thought it was 36. Anyway I'm glad you all are so understanding and I'm so sorry that I thought I had any answers. Truly didn't know. I'm giong to try and shut up, lock down, and pull the covers back over my head I'm so embarrassed.

Please don't feel embarrassed. You have given some wonderful advice. Anytime we find something that works for you, you won't to let everyone know you found something that works. But what works for one, may not work for another. There is nothing wrong with sharing your experience. That is what this forum is all about. Sub is great for some people that have tried everything to get off of the doc.
So keep coming back and encouraging others. The more support we have, the better chance we have at sobriety!!!
Best of luck.

No covering up your head today, Fog.
Just because you were doing normal addict behaviour, doesn't mean your words don't help.
You have always had words of encouragement, no matter what they were.
Stay on here. Post your arse off!!!!
Love
