Hi ze8a59 and welcome to the forum! So you ended up dependent on your pain meds and tried a short detox with suboxone, but are now back on suboxone for a bit longer, is that correct?
I’m glad that the suboxone is helping your pain. You are certainly not alone is trying to break the cycle of using addictive pain meds to treat your chronic pain. I hope your time on suboxone helps you to do that. What are you plans to do that while you’re on sub for those 6-12 months? Do you plan on seeing an addiction counselor or an individual therapist, or what else in order to "change the way" you "think"? If you make a plan with small, achievable goals then I think that’s the best way to meet those goals in the time frame you’ve set for yourself.
Good luck to you and again, WELCOME! And thanks for sharing your story with us.
