Hello!
I used to be addicted to buprenorphine for about ten years. Also have used quite a lot of stimulants. Right now I have been living at a rehabilitation center and am sober 95% of the time. I've been relapsing once a month and have used metylphenidate intravenously for 2-3 days per relapse. The Question I want to ask is this: How do you think these relatively small relapses affect my brain chemistry and recovery in general?
I'm at a point that I probably could be completely sober if I could get an apartment, start going to school and have a social life. The reason I allow myself these relapses is that I guess it doesn't affect my recovery that much and I want to relapse because living in this rehab center is very hard. Nothing to do but watch tv and eat three times a day.
If I had my own place and studying to do and maybe even friends I know I could be sober quite easily.
So. What do you guys think?
