I could explain examples but it depresses me to talk about it. So what do you guys think?

I worked with Heroin addiction in New Orleans, Methadone Clinic. I wish you the best. You sound pretty sophisticated so you probably know you may find a support group helpful, folks who are committed to recovery also, so you can talk in DETAIL about what has happened with others who have their own secrets and shame.

Methadone addiction as you know is more difficult to kick than heroin, most don't make it off.

I know nothing about Suboxone but I do know you will need to completely, completely change associations with anyone or anything that is even remotely connected to your addiction.

I did something like this to quit smoking. Went from cigarettes to Nicotine lozenges, fully addicted to the lozenges and then began to cut back slowly till I could let them go.


Sleep, or lack of, is your biggest enemy. If you can get your normal sleep pattern back, Light - Deep and REM Sleep Cycle, without medication for sleep, your odds of making it are exponentially greater. I would be looking at some exotic exercise routines daily, along with careful food planning for meals as well as eating on a schedule and a strict bedtime and rise time. But that is just me.


You can do it. You can make it.
