Quitting Suboxone 50 Day Taper ...my Story

Hi everyone my name is Peter. I was addicted to opiates for about 1.5 years and in my point of view my tolerance was huge spending thousands of dollars, slowly to see how i corrupted my family and a life of my newborn daughter... and to make matters worse im separated with my wife and my little daughter till today......sad story i know. BUT there is a way to do it and you guys have to listen to me carefully ... first of all im not thinking of me as a mentor or anybody like that cause to be honest i was probably worst than most of people that are reading that right now.. My point is i thought they need to lock me in the room without handles to quit what i was doing ...and i was doing horrible things.. im gonna try to make that story as short as possible on the other hand i would love to tell you what i was experiencing while i was addicted.... i pray a lot and i set my bar really high and ill reach my goals as quick as i kicked dope out of my life. im very thankful to my lovely wife that she didnt leave me alone when all that happen... baby i know i did wrong many times but my heart is full of love and nothing is stronger than that ive told myself i need to keep up i need to be a husband, a father, a hard working guy who wants better life for his family... not an dirty addict that has no future. I found a doctor who can help me and i work hard to make my life better ...to get my life back.. he told me with my tolerance i should take 16 mg a day so is that 4 x 4mg or 2 x 8mg a day... everyone knows that suboxone is as worst as opiates so if u start taking it u cant just switch your habit from dope to sub but you have to use that as help or another chance to leave bad things behind you..i didnt listen to my doctor... i start from 4 mg which i never did it (i use to do 8 mg film or 8 and half of it so 12 mg) first day... hmm suckkkss!!! i popped another 4 and end of the day i did another 4... i was pissed like crazy but who wouldn't be you try to kick dope and this doesnt work as you want it to...second day ive decided to start gym cause i know how are withdraws are f***ed up and im not gonna sit in my chair waiting for another muscle pain. i need to stretch it ...ive popped 8 mg that day ... i had few drinks and passed out i woke up next day with terrible head ace and believe it or not i didnt feel it like to take it sub...after 2 hours i decided to take one film 4mgs... the following week i was doing 4 mgs every morning and i went to the gym as well ..all the time in my head i see picture of my wife and daughter cant imagine anything more beautiful than my lovely princesses. they are the biggest motivation as i could ask for. after 6 days on 4 mgs i get down to half of it 2 mg and i keep doing it for another 8 days ... Guys today is a day #16 its Sunday ... since friday morning when i took 2 mgs i didnt touch a film and i feel great im planning to dont take it at all but in the worst case i ll do half of the half so 1 mg or even less i know i can do it...

Maybe im wrong or im writing that to fast cause i didnt kick it for good but i know for sure.. IF U LOVE SOMEONE MORE THAN ANYTHING ON THIS PLANET, IF U WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE , IF U WANT TO INVEST IN YOURSELF YOU WILL HAVE TO BRACE UP BECAUSE YOU CAN DO THIS !!!!! MY SOLUTION FOR OPIATE ADDICTION - DONT STAY HOME. GO TO THE GYM. THE WITHDRAWS ARE GONA BE LESS PAINFUL THAN WHEN YOU'LL BE LAYING DOWN ON YOUR COUCH. DONT LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR OR TRY TO WORK OUT WITH HIM A TAPER PROGRAM. DONT TAKE TOO MUCH SUBOXONE. YOU WANT TO QUIT THE ADDICTION NOT TO CHANGE THE MERCHANDISE. STAY WITH YOUR LOVED ONES.. I HOPE IM NOT THE ONLY LUCKY GUY HERE THAT HAS SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN TALK TO... ITS NEVER TOO LATE. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR EVERY PIECE OF YOUR LIFE FOR PEOPLE YOU LOVE. FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THIS WORLD. ILL KEEP U POSTED ABOUT MY PROGRESS WITH KICKING SUBOXONE BUT SO FAR IM ON THE GOOD ROUTE AND I HAVE MY PRIORITIES AND GOALS THAT ILL REACH NO MATTER WHAT... I BELIVE IN YOU GUYS AND I BELIEVE ANYBODY CAN LEAVE THE DEVIL BEHIND THEM... MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER BE ACTIVE, EAT HELTHY, ENJOY EVERY DAY OF LIFE AND THE MOST IMPORTANT LOVEEE WITH ALL YOUR HEART CAUSE THAT WILL HELP YOU REACH THE TOP OF THE WORLD... IM DEDICATING THAT TO MY LOVELY WIFE AND MY LITTLE PRINCES.. I WONT LET YOU DOWN EVER AGAIN !!!
