I?m 31 years old, male. I was a herion junkie for 10+ years. After my best friend wore a wire on me and I served a 3 year prison sentence I relapsed briefly and moved from where I?m from to the other side of the country. I met someone who for some reason gave me a 2nd chance. I was only maybe a month into relapse and decided to take subutex. I went to a clinic daily and was taking 16 mg of subutex for 1 year. I tapered down to 4 mg over a span of about 10 days. I just quit my job and have decided to use this next week to get the withdrawals over with. When I wake up it?ll be 24 hours since my last dose. I know it?ll take about 72 hours to really feel the withdrawals. I have to take a trip to Denver in 10 days. I?ll be there for 2 days and then back home. I?m hoping the withdrawals aren?t so bad that I can?t work in two weeks also. I?ve been through the withdrawals for every opiate imaginable. I have withdrawal cold turkey in county jail after shooting 8 mg of suboxone a day for a year. I?ve done the same with heroin, methadone, etc. I was always around people who understood and were callused to this junkie lifestyle. Now my new family has no idea what this will be like. They know the truth about everything but have never seen someone go through this. This scares me so much. It all scares. I?ll be home alone for the majority of this week. Just hoping to learn from some others experience and have some support from people who understand. This is gonna be so hard but must be done. Any advice, small talk, bad jokes, or inspiriation will be greatly appreciated!
