Welcome Kani C

Hi Kani C,
How are you? Is today your birthday? I didn't know if I saw that right, but wanted to pass along birthday wishes your way, if so.. Also, I wanted to welcome you to the forum!! Are you on Suboxone also? Or thinking about going on it? Have you been on the Methadone, as well? However, this site is great regarding all of these situations & will help to assist you with any needs or questions that you may have about any of these things. Or really anything, for that matter. There are many educational links & references included into this site, as Deborah, the creator of the site, has spent countless hours making sure that the information here is accurate! The moderators, Dee & Barbara, both have gone through opiate addiction & are an inspiration in recovery!! They are full of encouragement & I always feel better after reading their posts on here, as it passes along hope my way!! I really feel like I gain strength from this forum!! I really urge you to stick around to get to know these wonderful people, as well as many others. I'd love to hear more about you & what is going on in your situation. Are you married? Do you have children? Are you working? What do you do for a living? Where do you live? If your comfortable to share, I'd love to know. There are members on here from all over the world, as well as the US. It's really cool, as I'm getting to know them better, to hear about where they live & what its like there for them. I hope that you will keep in touch also!
By the way, my name is Beth. I've been on the Subs since last May. I was to the point in my addiction that I'd really about given up any hope of successful recovery! I'd tried a million different times, in a million different ways, over a decade of my life, to continually fall back into the opiates, once again! I failed over & over & became tired of fighting it! I didn't feel like my life was even worth living!! The Subs have changed all if this around for me! My life has done a one eighty since that time. I have hope & a future again! I'm still married & am raising my three children. My family is starting to have some trust in me again, as well as being proud of me now! These are amazing accomplishments for me!! I'd love to hear about these such events in your life too!! Hope that you will keep in touch!
Talk to you soon!
Happy Birthday!!!
Yours in Recovery,
Beth
