Obviously this is your decision and everyone here has offered something really valuable for you to think about.
Tearjerker brings up an excellent point that you did great for so long on your own so don’t discount that. BUT, I also see exactly where Jonathan is coming from. I, too, can hear the addict in your words and you could be at a tender moment in your addiction remission, due to where you are in your life. Don’t discount the stress that’s going on right now. Ask yourself, could it trigger you again? Will you have more trouble with cravings, now that you went back on and off the roxy’s again and with your mom’s cancer ongoing?
Think about things like that. Look at your behavior and see how much of it is addict-related behavior and how much isn’t. Only YOU know that. Then if you think things might not be as stable as you’d like them to be, then suboxone might be something to think about. There is something to be said for relapse prevention.
I wish you the very best with however you choose to handle this.
