I know that addiction as it relates to chasing pills can be quite a troublesome life to lead, but it doesn’t bother me in any way or disrupt my life because I take Suboxone. I’m not a slave to suboxone, as some would like to say, and I don’t stop my life because of Suboxone. I still take vacations, go 3-4 states away from home, and many other freedoms… I think part of getting better is viewing Suboxone just as you view your doctor or psychiatrist/therapist…a helper in your treatment, whether long or short term…instead of trying to blame Suboxone with being a crutch, or feeling like it hinders your life…because in most cases/scenarios, suboxone is the reason you have a life, I know it is in my case…and I’m thankful that I’m still alive to live that life…and I’m thankful to the life-saving properties of this drug that I’ve been given in order to have those things…if I have to deal with a few issues or I have to think ahead before I leave town to insure I have meds, then that’s fine…at LEAST I am alive in order to leave town. If I was still doing drugs, or if I was still ALIVE to do them, I know I wouldn’t be leaving town unless I was chasing a big bag of pills… I’d much rather live my life depending on one or two pills a day than to live my life depending on 15 or 20 pills a day, as I’m sure many will agree. |
