Hello everyone,

I'm from Australia, I grew up in a small suburb called Cabramatta in Sydney, I have quit smoking heroin for 7 years until I met some of my old friends 6 months ago, I had alot of stress from work lately so I decided to smoke abit of heroin with them (I know that is very stupid and I really regret doing that) and guess what before you know it I was back on it again, I smoked for about 2 months and my dose got up to 2 grams a day, now with my current job there is no way I can support that habit, I didn't want to go back to dealing it and end up back in jail, and I don't want to blug it of my friends everyday, so a friend introduce one of his customers that was selling suboxone, he was selling 8mg pills or swapping it for heroin, so I was getting suboxone of him every week for the last 3 months, I was taking two 8 mg pills a day until 3 and half weeks ago he got done for breaking and entering and he is currently locked up, so I had only the left overs from before which was about 32 mg left so straight away I cut down on it and took one 8 mg a day then 4mg a day and I did feel pretty bad when I got to 1mg but even ended up breaking that up in half so in 2 weeks I dropped down to 0.5mg per day, I was on 0.5 for 5 days and ran out, now I got nothing and I've flew to another state to get away from my friends or I would end up getting heroin off them, I don't want to touch that shit any more, I will try my best not to touch it after I quit the subs, so at the moment I'm stuck in Melbourne in a hotel, today is my 8th day without anything, I don't even have the energy to go back home, I have read alot on the internet about subs and every forum has different replys, some say the 3rd day is the worst, some say the 5th day is the worst, but to me I felt the worst last night, that was on day 7, on the second day I started to feel like shit but nothing compared to last night, I only slept for about 1 hour the whole night tossing and turning, I have real sore legs and back, keep yawning, I just want to ask some experts with subs is my withdrawls gonna get worst or better? I have been eating properly trying to exercise, for me the withdrawls from subs are bad but it's nothing compared to getting straight off heroin, I can handle it cold turkey easily I'm just worried it might not go away after a month, cause I took my holidays early this year to get off this shit, and I only have 4 weeks to do that, if I'm still sick after 4 weeks and can't go back to work I might lose my job:(
 
Azn I don't have any personal experience with heroin or suboxone but I just wanted to say how awesome it is that you've taken such a strong step in going down to Melbourne to get away from the temptations back at home. Good work man. You're doing all the right things, so please keep going. Even though you might still feel like shit for a few more days/a week, things will start to get better very soon. Hang in there okay?

Have you got some support for when you get back home, so that you're not tempted to use again? Can you maybe start seeing a drug counsellor, or go to some NA meetings in your area? I can help you look some up if you like (I'm from Sydney too).

In the meantime, take care of yourself, stay focussed, you're doing great <3
 
Ya, I think he'll be good, he just needs to get a sub doctor.
A support network will definitely help once he gets subs though. It's so easy to fall back on dope once you get used to being on bupe.
 
your going to also want to clean up your post. its not good to admit certain thing.
 
Thank you everyone for the replys and support

n3ophy7e,
I think I will be ok when I get back home, as long as I don't go hang out with my old friends, after all I did stay clean for 7 years, I moved from Cabramatta to Ashfield about 6 years already, I just happened to bump in one of them in a pub, I'm not saying they are bad they also tried not to give me any, they said I stayed clean all this time I shouldn't touch it again, it was my fault I kept on asking and giving them threats, but I do regret it now so yeah, I think I will able to control myself when I get back home, thank you for your concern.
 
I would like to thank everyone for their help and support first, well today is day 9 being cleaned for me, last night i managed to sleep about 2 hours.

I just came back from a local doctor, I told him my situation how I couldn't get any sleep and I was coming off the subs, guess what, he prescribe 20 panadeine fortes for the pains and 20 valuims for the sleep lol, I was shocked, I was just gonna ask him for some sleeping pills but the panadeine forte is a big bonus, I took 2 of each and feeling very drowsy now, so I'm going for a quick nap, see you guys later and again thanks for all the support.
 
Good to hear. Don't get ahead of yourself now and pop them all to get high. That doctor did you a great favor, and his actual job, unlike most.
yeah bro i won't abuse them and pop more than 2 at a time, infact on the packet it says take 2 at time every 4 hours and i won't take any until i really need them tonight, i know that panadine forte has 30 mgs of codine so i'll becareful with them.
 
good morning all,
Today is day 10 clean for me, I had the best sleep last night with 2 valuims from 10 pm till 7:30 am, the birds woke me up, at the moment I just feel i have abit of lead in my legs, and thats about it.
 
Well done!!!...Shit mate, youve almost bloody done it!!..With the rest of the pan fortes and 2 vals a night, your going to be fine i reckon!!...I think the docs in Melb are better than alot of other states!! Keep it up mate and you will be over the worst.....You are an insperation!
