Hello Auntie C and welcome to The Light At The End of The Tunnel.
My name is Dee and it is great to have you here with us. If you have any questions or concerns about Suboxone or your recovery let us know.
We are here to help. we care about you.
We have two moderators on the forum, they are Barbara and Beth. I am sure they we will be here soon to say hello to you as well.
Are you currently a Suboxone patient or are you thinking about starting Suboxone? Once you get comfortable and settled in, I'd like to hear from you. You can post your story under the "Suboxone Stories" Section of the forum. Feel free to read through the forum. If you see something that interests you, you are more than welcome to post.
We have a great group of people here. If you are looking for a place where you can meet new people that have been through what you are going through you have come to the right place.
Addiction is a disease that is misunderstood by many, only someone that has suffered from this terrible disease can know what it is like to travel that well worn road.
I look forward to meeting you Auntie C.
Yours in Recovery,
Dee

It always makes my heart feel so good to know that one less person feels all alone with this horrible disease. Like Dee, I have many questions for you as well. Are you currently on Suboxone or Methadone? Or thinking of beginning either one of them? I hope that you will take a look at our websites containing a wealth of information on both medications as well as testimonials & others stories regarding members own addiction & recovery. Both links to the sites are directly under my name, as well as Dee & Barbara's names. I really encourage you to take a look at both of them as you get some time as you will really be surprised how much information is actually located there. And with the forum here, we are like family! We feel comfortable with each other to discuss anything that is threatening our recovery as well as the "normal" side effects of being on such maintenance medications.
