Hi Heather,
Good for you for choosing Suboxone over the dead end road of Heroin use!!! I know that’s a hard decision to make for some of us, even though we know we have to do it, it’s still scary to make that leap.
I never used heroin, I was on pain pills, they’re basically the same thing though. Anyway, I got on Suboxone and it most likely saved my life. I had tried to quit pain pills before and was never successful. So, because I couldn’t quit the pain pills, I just kept on using and using and using. My usage just kept increasing to the point where something had to give and thank God it was right around that time that I first heard of Suboxone and decided to give it a try.
I hope you’re able to stick with your Suboxone treatment, it should give you the chance to get a lot of things straightened out.
One more note, I would encourage you to get with some kind of addiction counselor so you can start working through some of the issues that are at the heart of your addiction. It’s my opinion that Suboxone alone is not enough, I believe there’s still a lot of work we have to do on ourselves before we’re really well again.
Good luck and I hope you stick around.
