No Withdrawal With Suboxone (not Spam)

OK, I have been taking oxycodone for YEARS legally for my back. Then my back healed and I took them anyways. I felt shame for a number of years. I finally decided (cut off all other routes of escape - destroying my remaining oxys) to get off of them for good. I would NEVER to through illegal routes to obtain this drug (or any drug for that matter). My doctor was kind enough to give me suboxone to help with the withdrawals. What I did:
Was taking 20mg-25mg a day.
1st day: Took 2mg Suboxone in the morning after starting to feel really sick (this is the KEY) and 1mg at night (needed it). Take it only as needed he said. I actually felt NO withdrawal other than being tired. Excellent first day!
2nd day: Took 1mg Suboxone in the morning and slept that night at 6 hours without a painful wake up (excellent).
3rd day: Took 1mg Suboxone in the morning. No withdrawal effects yet. Drank plenty of water!
4th day: Took .5mg Suboxone in the morning. Still no withdrawals. Looking for other shoe to drop and start feeling that hellish feeling that never came...
5th day: Out of the woods? Took .5mg Suboxone in the morning. No withdrawals. Thinking to myself ... why do doctors make people go through withdrawal if they can use Suboxone (in the short term!).
6th day: Took .25mg Suboxone in the morning. Today writing this. Feeling a bit sore. Took a pain reliever and something for my sore throat. It has not been easy - but withdrawal and fear of it can put people RIGHT BACK on oxycodone.
I hope this helped someone.

The reason doctors don't use it is because it actually illegal for them to prescribe it for addiction treatment like this.

Under current law, it can only be prescribed/used for addiction treatment by doctors that have been specially trained in the use of it for such issues.

A regular doctor can prescribe it for pain, but if they haven't been trained to use it for addiction, then they can lose their license if they prescribe it for that.
