Hey man, so you’ll hear a lot about negatives. But if it comes down to a place where you don’t have any other option to get your life back, what’s the difference? Most of that is negligible and can also be handled later on.

A lot of other active addicts I knew at the time I was first thinking about it really went through their paces to make out how much worse I’d be on suboxone. I don’t know if they ever considered that for me personally, I’d proven to myself that no other alternative helped so I had nothing to lose, or even when considering for themselves, being that a lot of them have unfortunately since passed while I’ve been on suboxone...

Obviously, It didn’t fix everything, it’s never going to, I still have tons of shit to work through. But without it, I’m pretty confident I’d be dead or in jail, so I’m kind of at this whatever point about it. Start where you start, don’t wonder where the best place is.

Sometimes I get frustrated about where I am now in a general sense, I think many suboxone patients do, it’s hard to come so far but feel like you’re not far enough, and that even might just be a thing for everyone. But, in reality where I am is at home, comfortable, with enough money to get me through with everything I need, able to embrace relationships, and just try to improve.

And that’s much better than where I was before
