Hello everyone
I have seen too many posts from desperate people in subutex detox, and not enough from subutex survivors!
Well, I am one of those survivors. I have got thru it, and have NO PLANS TO GO BACK.
2 weeks totally clean (tho before that I had ‘stopped’ sub a week earlier, and was only taking a crumb so was already in a painful ‘withdrawal’ for a week).
It hasn’t been easy. I won’t lie to you. There were times that I felt really down and in pain, but what made it worse were the stories that you can’t make it, you will relapse, and will be in sub for the rest of your life. It’s not true. I promise.
I am not 100%, but I feel happier now than I ever did for the 6 years I was taking subutex. I feel like my personality and my memory has come back, and I can start living again.
I am still yawning and sneezing, and my bones hurt (it’s like a kinda pain inside your joints which you can do nothing about..annoying), but this is heaven compared to the pain and depression of the last 3 weeks.
Respect to ANYONE who can get thru a sub detox and stay strong.
I still have sub available to me, and I could take it now if I wanted, but I don’t want it anymore. Forget that sh*t, I want to be me again, and, more importantly, I never want to go thru a sub detox again.
If you are going thru this, PLEASE STAY STRONG. You Will MAKE IT. Just be prepared for the sh*t you may have to go thru, but you CAN MAKE IT, I promise and you CAN make a better life for yourself.
Love to everyone and please feel free to post back- if i can help anyone, that would be amazing.

Dear Hanna, My name is Peter and I really really need to talk to someone. First, I need to tell you that I'm blind. This website is not accessible using my software so I got assistance posting this. I am going through &$#%. I am not going to quit trying but I would like to correspond via the email. I have been working on self detox since October 2012. I was taking 16mg per day and going down 2mg per month. I am hitting a hard spot with hard withdraws. I have been on Suboxone for 3 years and had to do this myself since the doctors do not want me to get off this medicine. I tried once going to rehab, but relapsed due to extreme withdraws. I am scared but I want to go forward. May I please speak to you. I like what you posted. I cannot find any support in this area. I do not mean talk one on one but via email. thank you so much for any support. Peter
