I've been looking for emotional support to no avail, I'm hoping someone can share their experiences or thoughts
In hopes to keep up my resolve to keep kicking. I see my ob tomorrow but I'm so embarrassed to tell her that I've been struggling with an opiate dendency since I saw her last and I'm afraid of ppl thinking I'm just some reckless person who fell into an opiate dependency. I've been taking Suboxone slowly tapering since 10/16 and I'm committed to being off of everything for my bby. Two weeks ago I ran out and because of unforeseen events I couldn't drive up to see the Dr I found to prescribe subutex a month ago. She told me to find a new local doctor and left me hanging a few days later I found out I was pregnant, I immediately wanted to not be physically dependent on Suboxone. So I've been kicking from home it's been the most excruciating 14 days of my life.
 
I'm confused by your post, and apologise that I have more questions than answers before I share any correlating experience

Where have you been looking for emotional support?
Are you saying you've been opiate-free for 2 weeks and you developed an opiate dependency since seeing your obstetrician last, which was in the 8 weeks before that or did you see the ob pre-pregnancy?
If so, then with luck, you will find out at your appointment tomorrow that your baby is fine
No judgement from me, but it's difficult to be emotionally supportive when your story is a little confusing
 
She ran out of subs, could get any more, It's been 14 days and she's having the most 14 excruciating days of her life.

Don't worry, stick to it and you'll be better before you know it. And be happy you've got a baby on the way, having that bundle of joy in your hands will be better then any opiate.

Stay strong, everyone one here will be happy to talk and provide the support that you want. Free feel to PM me or anything if needed.

Welcome to the site,

As Rayman has pointed out that if you have managed the first 14 days then stick with it and it will get better. We have a sober living section where you can chat about your struggles and you will get the support you need (no judgement).

Take care
