Hi Lilly,
I just posted for the first time. I have visited this site before, but this is the first time I have actually sought out support.
I am so happy for you. Keep up the faith if you want to get off. Personally I agree with you-flushing is the best course. Like you I am a super addict. If I know that there is something around the pull too much. Husband or not. If you really want to get off- you are going to have to face the fact that at some point you are going to feel withdrawal. I wish I could lie and tell you differently- I have been through the whole mill, and I actually got off after being on for 4 years. Since I did not learn any good coping skills, as life is- something came up and I had a brutal relapse. I just wrote an intro explaining all this.
What ever you do- have a plan- anything- some sort of way to know how to cope with life in general. I do not tell you this from a position of accomplishment- but rather the opposite- I have no coping skills at the moment. I have in the past, but the past is the past.
I will try and hang around this forum a bit depending on how I feel about the people here. I have always been a bit suspicious of the whole suboxone thing- yet at the same time have to admit that does help with getting an opiate addicts life stable. But anyone who says there are not serious side effects- as there are with any opiate- is misleading.
I may be not good at a lot of things- maybe I am a total loser- but I am good at listening. I have been where you are right now many times. I really really hope that things work out for you. I am also so happy for you that you have a husband that can support you- that is huge. really huge.
