trying to quit

I have been using for about 4 years sometimes a little sometimes a lot..I go up and down with it. I tried suboxone but it really made me sick when I took it.  I have about 20 left from last year and am thinking of trying it again. I have just run out of vicodin and just want to stop. I am very scared of withdrawal and being sick but I know it is inevitable...I just want to be free from this addiction.

often stepping up to the plate is the thing to do...fear of wd can get u into deep doo doo..u r afraid of sumpin that will not be near as bad as u think it will..this fear is what keeps many in a dark place..when in reality continuing to use should scare the pants off of u cos it leads absolutely nowhere..think about it//get this straight in ur head

Making a plan for detox is important//as well as a plan to stay clean

there is alot of support here//keep posting

You must be ready to stop if you are to finally give up. The people i have known to be sick with suboxone is because they were on too high a dose or maybe your just not suited to it. Why not just go c/t. I know its hard as i went c/t from a 13yr heroin habit and i was in hell, believe me iv been there and its not nice but when you come out the other side the feeling is amazing. If you read my journals youll see how bad it was. I dont think your w/ds would be so bad as i had a very heavy heroin habit. But if your ready to do it you could try the thomas recipe while your coming off. \keep yourself hydrated and get some vitamins to keep your body going as you wont be eating much. Sleeping was one of my worst problems. I went 14 days with no sleep. The rls are also bad, my wife was one of the unlucky ones and got it in her arms too, I promise you the difference in your life will be amazing. I wish you all the best and think you can do this. Ill be thinking of you. Let me know how you get on. It wont be easy but itl be worth it James
