Newbie just finished 90 day court ordered supervised rehab was on LRA

That is amazing I have been on opiates for 10yrs almost because of a car accident and I have dabble in almost every drug when I was younger I am 28 now and I am wanting so badly to get off the medications I prescribed in a natural way you know? How did you go about it if u don't mind me asking?
 
First methadone for a while, then i thought it would be smart to just say "I'm getting clean" and cold turkey'd 120mg/day.. bad idea.
Ended up relapsing, i was using OC's and then "graduated" to dope ending at like 1g a day.
Decided enough was enough and went on Suboxone, was on it for two and a half years.. tapered myself from 16mg/day to 8 then 4, 2, then under 1mg in that timeframe.
Stopped the Suboxone after the 2.5years and even on that low of a dose i was in wds for months and PAWS for a year (don't let that scare you from getting clean though).
I recently started feeling MUCH better and know now that all that pain from getting clean WAS in fact worth the outcome.
My life is slowly coming back together, even though i am still awkward in social situations without opiates.
It is worth it to get clean, but it does take time and willpower. The "pain" you feel when coming clean is only as bad as you let it be.
Once accomplished you would look back at that wd time and say, "Damn, if i can do that.. Im a stronger person than i thought, bring it on life!" lol.

I wish you luck on attempting sobriety.
If i can do it (i dont know you) but i will bet you can too.
