Hey kinevol,
Many of us, once we get off of Suboxone, have those same thoughts. They can be pretty strong at first, but it subsides with time. Personally, I can go for pretty decent stretches without any real cravings whatsoever, then, usually when I’ve let a lot of stress build up in my life, I start to notice cravings. This recovery thing is a learning process. We have to learn our triggers and avoid them or learn to deal with them. I know now one of my triggers is letting stress build up. I shared about this in my meeting last night and about how I tried to use Saturday, after the meeting several people came up to me and gave me their phone numbers and insisted I call them anytime I need or want to…..I’m going to be taking them up on that offer.
Recovery is not always a smooth road, it takes work, it takes persistence and a little bit of luck thrown in there never hurts either…….my luck came in the form of God denying me any drugs on Saturday.
Stay strong Bud!!
Okla51, I hear ya man. Thanks!
