Hi StrangerInTheMirror,
I’ve been following this thread, I just haven’t posted yet. I think the fact that you went back to 1mg was wise. Like you said, now YOU can choose your quit date. I too had my quit date planned, June 4th/2010. I knew weeks in advance that I was quitting and as my quit date approached, guess what happened…….I started to get excited!! I couldn’t wait for that day to get here!! True to my word, I quit on that quit date and I haven’t taken anymore Suboxone. 3 days will mark one year. I’ve had two short relapses on Hydrocodone, but that’s because I wasn’t working a good recovery program.
Quitting Suboxone alone is not recovery, there’s more to it. You mention how you’ve done work over the years on Suboxone and that you’re ready to live life without pills and that is GREAT to hear. You sound EXACTLY like me when I quit. I made it 10 months before my first relapse……..I just want you to know that you may need to do some extra work so your recovery is really strong.
Congratulations on deciding to quit and I wish you every success!! I hope you continue posting so others can read your story and hopefully we can continue to help you along the way too.
