Dys said: And honestly I don't know when to first "count" my sobriety; some people go by last drink/dose, some have said sobriety began when cravings went away. Either way I'm not going to split hairs over it.
if you dont know your sober date then you are not sober.
Maybe you havent done smack, but you've been using. Everyone who truly goes clean and sober knows exactly what day that was. Most people can narrow it down to the minute. I've been through the program(s), and I failed multiple times. They went as far as kicking me off of probation. I never did pass and told the judge I was DONE. so they gave me "significant jail time" and I'm fucking glad. No more inpatient, outpatient, AA, or any of that dumb bullshit.

Take the suboxone for 3-4 days in decreasing doses then stop. 8mg, then 6, then 4, then 2, then none.
It's the only proper way to use suboxone, and it works.
If only it were just that simple. 
I'm pretty sure maintenance is a perfectly valid option for some situations, as is a long slow taper, but my plan is something like what you say. Probably be more like 6 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 0.5
I'm scurred.

It's really better if you just don't stretch it out. Take my word for it. If possible, see if you can get a script for a small amount of 100ug (.1mg) clonidine as well. Take like 3 or 4 of time a day. You will just fucking sleep the whole way way through your W/D. Stock up on some anti-anxiety pills for after you completely stop. Theanine, theanine, theanine: Fuck it, take 1200mg a day. They sell it at grocery stores like HEB. It will help tremendously. And it is that simple. I was doing 120-240mg of oxycodone a day and this is exactly how I got off. 8, 6, 2, none + .4mg of clonidine a day.

93 days for DUI. Thats nothing tho, he also gave me the maximum fine amount. And license revoked in the second degree. And probably more but thats just what I can come up with off the top of my head.
I also had a suspended sentence, meaning if I got into ANY trouble at all, and at one point had any cop contact, they would give me the maximum time punishable for that sentence.
heehee I had cop contact though. if ya know what I mean

Here's hoping that you're right and I am able to manage it thanks for the input
I don't think I can get clonodine or anything right away. I am in the process of finding a new Dr, and also going to start doing some mental health counseling as well, but mostly I think I'm just going to have to grin and bear it in the meantime

All of the addicts are in ODD where they have always been, besides me. I'm right here.

This marks 3 and a half weeks since I went from 20-24mg of diluadid+120mg-180mg of morphine a day to 4mg diluadid a day.
I'm happier but ill be happiest months from now when I'm completely off opiates. It doesn't hurt my life terribly to smoke weed everyday but opiates threaten it severely.

Dayum that's a good chunk of hydromorph. I hope you're taking that orally.
What's your plan for getting clean? Do you have a support system?

I was snorting it,those morphine though I always plugged those. It was bad,the entire addiction has been going on for over 6 years. I was clean for one year but thought I could use in moderation. I know that is no longer true and this is the first time since then that I'm motivated to get clean from opies,i want it really bad have family and friends supporting me,I even cut ties with my only opiate source other then my parents. So even if I wanted more tonight I couldn't get it. My plan is to eventually go down to 2mg for a month or 2 then nothing.

A lot of us are still around it seems.
I'm still alive and kicking, somehow. Unscathed too. Still don't have hep c somehow. Still haven't got caught slipping in 11 years of going hard.
I had a nasty relapse the past couple months after getting forced off of methadone by a bunch of my friends. I should have told them to fuck off and stayed on it, I was doing so well. I'm lucky I'm not dead or on my way to prison right now. Ended up in rehab until a few days ago, when I scored and ODed in the bathroom at the med clinic. I think that's my 11th overdose. Second time in that same bathroom. At least this time I made sure my pants weren't around my ankles when I fixed. I stopped pulling my pants down when I fix on the john a few years ago after being found like that a few times.
I had .50 cents on me and a few pairs of clothes on me when I got kicked out. Went on a spree. Pulled so many licks the past few days to score and get the fuck out of town. Riding the bus now with 8th of tar, a few subs and other detox meds on the bus with me, playing on a new lappy I copped, running from myself to a new city to hopefully get away from this shit. San Antonio is baaaad right now. Dope is so good, and there's a lot of brave junkies willing to do whatever it takes. The shit I ODed on was open air market shit scored like a block from the homeless shelter. On a skimp dub, after only 9 days clean. I usually blast a gram of that stuff when I pick up down there.
It's time to run to the bathroom.
