I was on 30 mg oxycodone for about a year, knew it was time to quit so I started taking suboxone to taper myself off. Got down to .25 mg of sub each day and stopped. I felt withdrawals for 8 days. Although felt better. I messed up and used last night. Did I restart my withdraws fully?

You may have just set yourself back a day or two - just don't keep doing it and you'll be fine!
Good job on your detox, just know I'm there with you too! I'm on day 2 on opiate withdrawal and it's pretty nasty.

You will probably feel like shit for a day or so but it wont be like starting back over. However now that you have become dependent once it will be much easier for it to happen again in the future. For instance if you where to use 3 days in a row right now I would expect you to end up in full blown withdrawal on the 4th day. Also the withdrawal itself gets worse and lasts longer every time you go through it. So yeah try not to use anything for awhile if you can help it.
Thanks cj and w0w0mg, thank you for your response, glad to know it won't be like restarting, that was a rough week, I put myself in a bind, I'm an executive in a large company and no one knows, so I took a week of vacation to go through detox, but ended up having to go to an important meeting so I needed to be in top condition so I used a pill I had laying around. Dumb idea and don't plan on making similar mistakes.

It would put me back in square 1, which is part of the reason why I abstain. But a lapse doesn't equal a relapse; you should be able to resume staying off drugs and shouldn't have too hard of a time doing so in terms of withdrawal.
