Good Morning to you Baby on the way,
Congrats to you!! Do you have other children or is this your first? How far along are you? How are you feeling? Are you starting to "show" yet? Do you know if your having a boy or a girl yet? Are you planning on finding out? I know that I'm asking you or rather bombarding you with questions, but it does make it easier to respond when your new to questions, as sometimes its hard to find a "starting point" to tell others about your own situation. I am soo glad that you've made it here. This place is like home to me! There are so many members that are just amazing, wonderful people. There is no judgment, for we all have our pasts..
I'd love to hear more about you & how things are going along for you. Are you currently on Suboxone or thinking of starting it? Either way, I've found it to be a "life saving, miracle medication" for me & many others here. I guess that I haven't even really introduced myself- sorry about that. Sometimes I do things a little bit backwards..
haha
My name is Beth & I've been on the Suboxone for a little longer than a year. I started it last May & what a change my life has taken for the better since then. I've still had to pay the consequences throughout this year, but as they are getting handled, so am I. I'm simply referring to things like my drivers license & past lies that have finally caught up to me throughout this year. But now,
finally, I feel like I am starting with a "clean slate" even though I still have issues that need addressing, I'm working on that with my counselor each week. I actually just asked her this past week if I could start coming in twice a week. She was thrilled & excitedly scheduled me into two sessions per week. I've tried many counselors throughout this entire ordeal, but this woman is special. I feel like I can say anything to her, more like a friend than a therapist. It's hard to go spill your guts & your most horrifying skeletons to just anyone.
Do you also see a counselor or attend any group sessions or anything along those lines? Do you have a support system around you? I hope that you realize that you do have a huge amount of support here!
If your not comfortable posting quite yet, please continue reading the other posts & if you ever want to PM (private message) to someone inparticular, that's also an option. I hope that you'll let us get to know you better!
I really look forward to hearing more from you.
Yours in Recovery,
B
