I dont have a drinking problem. My addiction is codeine n I'm on suboxone for that. Thanks for support
You really need to work on why you are abusing substances otherwise it's going to continue. I know you are saying that you don't have a drinking problem but the evidence contradicts this claim. The following quote is from another thread you started, and it points to a drinking problem.
Sub never made me high it made me feel flat, normal n I could not deal with it. I started drinking heavily in the evening to deal with the emptiness. I cannot explain the feeling I felt flat n now I do ANYTHING TO FILL THAT EMPTY HOLE IN ME. Drink in the evenings, spend, eat - I can't stand it. My emotions were always too intense for me to deal with n there was the emptiness that has ALWAYS been there.
If you still think that you don't have a drinking problem then there is an easy way to find out. Don't drink! If you don't have a problem then you should have no problem not drinking for a month, heck, just try to stop for 2 weeks.
The reason why I'm bringing up the drinking is because I just saw that you plan on tapering off of the suboxone in December, and if you haven't started some sort of therapy for your substance abuse problems then it is highly probable that you will pick up the codeine again, or even worse, a more potent opiate like heroin.
Basically you abuse drugs to numb yourself, and when you started on the suboxone and leveled out on it unable to abuse other opioids due to its blocking effects, you turned to alcohol to fill the void. This means that you are still in active addiction, and if this doesn't change any time soon then you will go back to your DOC sooner than later.
So please seek treatment (such as outpatient group therapy sessions and/or NA) before tapering off of the suboxone. I would hate to see you go back to abusing opiates because you didn't make any changes in terms of your addiction other than switching to suboxone.
