Hello everyone. I am new here at the forums and new to Suboxone. My induction is tomorrow, and today was my last day of using. I have been fighting opiate addiction for about 10 years now. Tomorrow is my 7 year anniversary of being clean off heroin, ironically, the same day I am being induced on Suboxone. A few years after I got clean from heroin, I started dabbling in pain pills and have been doing so since then. It's very on and off. The off times, I go about a month, get through the physical, but the mental hits me so hard I always turn back to the pills and end up right back at square one. Well, straight to the point, I'm tired of it. I want out of this and I want to break these shackles. My addiction might seem petty to some, I pop anywhere from 40mg-90mg of hydrocodone a day, but an addiction is an addiction and I have proven time and time again I can't seem to kick it on my own. Not for long anyways. Back when I was first getting off heroin, Suboxone was very new, and the addiction psychiatrist I was seeing was really pushing it on me and thought I was a great canidate for the drug. Unfortunately, at that time, I had been supporting a $500 dollar a day heroin habit and was completely broke and could not afford the Suboxone. I resorted to a medical type detox where I went in every day and a nurse would give me a cocktail of pills for one week. I basically slept the entire week and at the end of it, I was through the physical. I did this method twice, didn't work the first time. I guess it really didn't work the second time either. So here I am. Starting Subs tomorrow and very excited and optimistic about the future. I want to be through with this once and for all. I am a Navy wife, and I have 4 beautiful children. I want to be alive and well so I can lead a happy, normal, life. I stumbled upon the website through my endless research on suboxone, and hope to support and get support from everyone here.
