I finally decided I had to enroll in a suboxone program due to external pressures beyond my control. Financial strains, family disruptions, a full time job, and lastly my health are all key reasons for my temporary switch to a maintenance drug. I'm looking to be on subs for no longer than one full month, as I'm just planning on doing a taper.
I don't think anything could fill the void that heroin will leave, so I won't even try to kid myself into believing that there's something else I could take, or that subs would do the trick, in that way. Knowing that fact sort of places my mind at ease. I had a really good run this time and since I'm on a waiting list, I've been assured that I won't be administered any subs until after 3 weeks or longer. That said, I am trying to live it up as much as I can; enjoying the rest of my time with dope. What little time I have left.
I would probably just do this cold turkey since I'm no stranger to it, despite how bad it motherfucking sucks, but having a full time job makes it an unrealistic approach. I can overcome the pain and sickness but I know if I have access to the drug, I'll want to get high andI'll just go for it. I need something like subs that will render my preferred opiates ineffective.
My goal is not soberiety, but rather moderation. I need to take an extended break and get myself back to normal before I can even think about going back to opiates.
