I am coming of suboxone into day 5 and day 1 alcohol feeling alone can't get into a doctor until next week long story I was going through the private system which is very costly and my doctor left the facility I was going too so I have had no choice but to come of this drug , it hasn't been as bad as I thought but I am just scared lacking motivation and feeling like a shitty mother ! Did go to gym with my husband last night felt better . Looking for some support and like minded people going or have been through similar experiences cheers Nat
 
I was recently in this exact situation. I saw my doctor monthly and was on 16mg a day 8 in the AM and PM. Then I was bumped up to 24 after two months. Fast forward a year. Go to see my doctor and he tells me he's leaving his practice and gives me list of other doctors able to prescribe it. All had waiting lists a mile long or weren't taking new people. So there I am on 24 a day for the past year and all of a sudden I have a months script and that's it. I started slowly skipping doses or taking one around mid day. I know it can be super shitty and your physical and mental state isnt the best. Hang in there, you'll get through it. I supplemented with alcohol and benzos which I wouldn't recommend. And then 2 weeks of hell when I ran out. All I can say is to stay positive and try and keep yourself busy. It's rough but you'll feel alot better when it's done.
 
Thanks for your reply ! Can I ask u are you doing any programs ect Aa. Na / smart recovery . I was clean off alcohol for 3 years in Aa cheers Nat from australia
 
I didn't do any programs, like counseling or Na or AA. I just don't feel comfortable talking with strangers or even doctors or counselors. My girlfriend is the one that helped me get clean off the H and I hardly am able to talk to her. Just the suboxone and supplementing with other things. I was good and clean for a while. Then got way back into everything. And now I'm doing better.
How's it going for you?
 
Well I got my sorry arse out went for walk saw a local doc he gave me some sleeping meds then went to work I am a swim teacher for little kids made me feel better !! Got home a cracked a bottle of wine I have always had issues with substances alcohol was my main choice but I got clean for 3 years and then the codiene and Valium Xanax started . I have a appointment for a specialist next Monday so that's Positive and I am working out at f 45 tomorrow have u heard of it ? Enough about me but how are you cheers nat
 
I tried Aa in Australia was clean for 3 years then I lost my dad to this disease and lost the plot ? Today is a new day so do something positive and at least you walked in the doors of Aa na don't define yourself just as an addict we all have some greatness
