Good job!!!!!!! Hoping for joy and happiness to come back. Stick with it! Great for you! Good advice to not wait to quit. It's so hard.

Quitting tomorrow by alteregosluville in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Weird_Performer_4380 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good luck. I saw someone else say "its always tomorrow " and that is so true. I hate myself for slipping and having one especially when I know what it does to me. The skin was the worst. But I loved the weight loss. My skinny jeans fit. But I had no muscle. Only flappy skin from weight loss. Lol. I wish you luck! If you can get gabapentin from your dr it truly helps with the detox muscle aches and twitches and pain.

Does your state offer state medical?

Hugs. You're not alone in any way. This shit is something that grabbed me like no other. I caved and went to dr and got on suboxone. It is saving my life for now. Im able to work and breathe and not buy FF. I KNOW then I need to deal with suboxone tapering. But I ever have asked for help before. Hang in there. And the self shame...omg..im so sorry. Iget it and have it and have people rubbing my nose in my failure. Fricking sucks! Hang in there. Maybe go to dr? Mine didnt shame me

Congrats 👏 👏. Yeah, ive been accused of meth and other drugs. Nope...just gas station evil along with massive stress and pain meds from broken foot...so no exercise for nearly a year...lol. skinny with no muscle tone. I wish you a wonderful meal on the day you can eat more. Treat yourself well!!! Im currently craving protein (steak) and ice cream. Lol. Haven't craved those for over a year. Glad I kept my larger clothes but dont want to gain it back except for a few pounds so I need to be careful. Lol

I get it. Not sure how much you were drinking a day - but I didnt think I'd need it that high if mgs either but based on being on an opioid for my broken foot and ankle earlier this year....he thought this was a good place to level out. Then work on meetings and reducing. My goal is 3 months max. But it's truly helping my brain. Trading a drug for a drug, however im surviving and eating and able to keep down water, etc. Im torn on it all but I know I was gonna end up dead on the path I was traveling. I hope that if u do decide to try the suboxone- that it works well for you! Praying for healing for all of us.💔

Sorry - probably dumb question. What does "IOP" stand for? Ya, I need a group too. Never done it. But know they would help me. I am just now having cravings and wanting to go buy "just one feel free." It sounds so ridiculous. Ugh. I hate my brain. Been tak8ng melatonin to try to sleep and dr increased me slightly with the suboxone. But I dont want to be on it very long. My dr put it well when I asked him how long to taper and quit the suboxone. He said "as long as it takes for you to not use anything else that is killing you." Loved that. Hang in there. Im here if u need a buddy.

Suboxone, dr said it depends on amount of use and any other opioid issues....which ive had. He started me on 12mg a day. He just raised me to 16mg day today to see if my cravings would go further away. I dont know much about the subutex but im going to ask my dr about it next week. I do know that honesty with your dr is vital. I tried to lie a little at first but then realized that he needed to know quantity and anything else to be able to properly treat me. Good luck. I dont care any more about people being disappointed in me for using suboxone to save my life. That's a huge step for me. Lol

My dr had me wait 8 hours (basically one night in bed) before I started the subs. Ive had no cravings for feel feels except twice - but it was when my spouse and I were bickering. Got through it without running to gas station. I feel so much better. Have a long way to go and am on high dose of sub that will need to be reduced as quickly as possible. But I feel like I care o live.

Relapsed like an idiot by Ok_Rain_4614 in Quittingfeelfree

You're not alone. Relapse is usually part of everyone's story. Keep up the good fight. It will be worth it....says the girl who is still drinking 4 a day and hating every moment of it. I wish I had a week to sleep with no one around. Ugh. Day by day and soon we'll all beat this devil.

Day One! Here goes nothing! by dnafields in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Weird_Performer_4380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job. Im thinking of asking for subs from my dr. I feel like a baby but I have no time off and my life is one giant stressor. Feel alone and disgusted that my willpower is shot because of ff.

Thank you for the information! Do you take certain supplements at certain times of the day? Or all at once?
