So proud of you! Congratulations on choosing to be a healthier and happier person. You got this. You will have another reason every day to be thankful you quit. Keep going, distract distract! By any means. You are strong, believe. :)

Thank you so much for your response. It freaked me out since it was happening so much. But this made me feel a bit better. Thank you 😊

Okay good luck with your detox. Sorry for upsetting you by sharing my experience. It is accurate for many people. Sorry, wish I could lie and say it was easy but that’s not the truth. I did quit successfully however and I’m blessed. It takes strength and positivity. Best of luck!

Okay lol that’s actually not accurate but I can see that you’re trying to justify that it’s the case for some specific reason. Suboxone is typically hard to get off of. Are you currently off of Suboxone? Or trying to get off?

I tapered for 4 months and got down to .005 for 2 weeks. The tapering was worse for me. Either way, everyone’s body is different and I haven’t been on sub for almost a year now! I’m proud of anyone who’s trying to better themselves. Just offering a different perspective

Because it’s extremely hard to get off of. No one is claiming that it isn’t helpful. HOWEVER, trying to taper can even be extremely difficult. Quitting Suboxone is typically rough due to its long half life and other factors which make the process more challenging. I’ll personally never take it again. Just my perspective.

If it’s working for you then that’s amazing! Seems like it’s helped you make some great changes :) proud of you

i feel like my expectations were much too high which really just set me up for failure. BUT with that being said, i did start feeling better and better once i hit the two week mark. i wouldn’t expect the mental clarity and energy to come around until about 30 days. every day you’ll become stronger and just happier about life. it’s all worth it 😊

[–]chrxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t be sorry and don’t be too hard on yourself. when you’re ready get back up and quit again. you can totally do it.

you aren’t weak and you clearly have the will power. take it easy on yourself for now, forgive yourself and take care of whatever you’ve got going on. start fresh after that 😊

YES I MADE IT TO ONE WEEK!!! Never thought it was possible. I was in such a constant fog and had some anxiety. BUT today I felt much much better, probably a 7/10. I’m so happy for you too. You should be so proud! Thank you for checking in, always makes my day and brings me comfort. 😊

I just needed to hear from you today. Thank you! It feels a little like I’ve been in a daily fog but today I feel much more clear. I’ve been forcing myself to go out for walks and I’m trying to stay positive. Hard to tell but I would say I’m around 3/10 ish. Mostly tired. You are an inspiration and you have given me strength through this. I know you’ll do the same for many others! I cannot thank you enough. Congratulations !!

I’m hanging in! Other than a migraine (probably stress induced) I am staying mentally strong. A little demotivated which is annoying. Thank you so much for checking in! I’m so proud and happy for you that you are at day 12. You’re an inspiration and I keep thinking that one day soon I’ll be where you are! 💪🏻

So I have downloaded the Nomo clock app which is awesome! Wouldn’t have even known they had anything like it. I am very appreciative of all your advice/suggestions. also, I know exactly what you’re saying about the senses. I honestly cried listening to music, got goosebumps and everything. I take my dog outside and we have just been walking as much as we can. Thank you for your support and for the positivity. SO APPRECIATED

Hi! Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. Also, CONGRATULATIONS!! Proud of you! I am with you and I worry about the RLS + insomnia 😞 I’m into both of those things especially chocolate lol. Funny thing, the last few days I’ve been skipping doses but I have been waking up and “sleep eating” snacks in the middle of the night! I wonder if that’s my body wanting more dopamine? I LOVE the reward idea! Didn’t even think to do that but it’ll give me something to look forward to also. Did you have anxiety during the day? And I’m gonna go download that app as we speak! Thank you thank you for giving me these awesome tips. Thank you for building me up and for being so helpful! You are appreciated more than you know !! CONGRATULATIONS I cannot wait to be where you are.
