newbie trying to get clean

[imdunium]

Hi everyone as you can see I'm a new member and have been trying to get clean for awhile now but to no avail nothing i tried is working. I would like to do it at home with otc things just don't know where to begin. I really need to get my life situated and want to be happy i know i can do it. My mom recently died and that kind of gave me some momentum to want this. I've read so much on here. I've been on an h tear after waking of the methadone clinic after 6 years I thought it was a good idea at the time and now I'm spending about 150- 200 a day on this viscous habit and there's no way I want to go back on the methadone then people are all about money. So if anyone could help with some advice I would gladly appreciate it thanks.

Welcome to BL

Have you tried Suboxone?

Hiya imdunium,

Glad you have found Bluelight - Welcome to the site.

You've been given some good information so far. Suboxone may ideal for you, I will include the link to the Suboxone megathread so you can discuss this with other members, if you feel that this is something you are interested in. Bronson is right - Other Drugs and Sober Living are two good sub-forums that could be of great help to you.

Hi fellow newbie I think that the best option is a quick detox using suboxen rather than getting on a long term plan also you can check yourself into a detox center or maybe even try rehab...
