I'm not going to get too far into it, but I just want to say a thing or two.
As active opiate addicts we are very sick people, it's a literal disease, but your brain will continually try and trick you into thinking you're not sick, that you're normal.
I could not comprehend that in active opiate addiction.
I have two weeks completely clean from all drugs and I feel pretty damn great most of the time.
I started using drugs about twelve years ago, when I was eleven, and I used them in increasing frequency and strength until I quit.
I had no significant clean time since I picked up, and not more than a day or two in the past few years.
I thought how I was living was normal, I fucking literally didn't understand what was wrong with people that didn't use heroin.
I could not fathom why every last person didn't use. I would see people doing everyday tasks, walking, playing with their kids, etc... and I could not understand why they were doing that bullshit instead of trying to get some heroin, because in my sick mind heroin was the most important thing, hell, it was basically the only thing, I didn't make many moves if they weren't moving me closer to heroin.
It wasn't until I got clean that I see how sick my thinking actually was, I thought people that didn't use heroin were the ones with the problem. What the fuck.
Idek where I'm going with this, but I just wanted to share a bit of personal experience, because I wish I would've read something like that when I was in active addiction, maybe it would made me realize sooner that I have a true disease, I may've just glossed over it because heroin really brings out my "I don't give a fuck", but it may've helped.
I didn't think I could be happy or have a good time sober, but I was so fucking wrong.
I don't ever want to be in active heroin addiction again.
Get help, please.

What changes are you making in your life to ensure it is your last one?
Because if it's just the drugs I can almost guarantee you'll pick up again.

I found heroin withdrawal to be far worse than oxy.
How I kicked my physical dependence on opioids was by IVing cocaine instead, I would just spend all my money on that and there'd be nothing left for opioids lmao.
That was seriously the only way I was ever able to stop on my own.
I would try the time off and benzos and blah blah blah, make it a little bit until I was like fuck this and went and got some heroin.
Good luck buddy. Ever considered a medical detox facility? That's how I actually kicked a few years ago.

How many mg of oxy do you do a day?
I do believe that it's roughly 1mg of bupe=10mg oxy.
So if I were trying to come off of oxy using bupe I'd start out with a whole one and take an 1/8th less everyday.
I'd probably divide it up into two doses a day, one in morning one in evening.
That would make it easier, although I wouldn't feel great, I'd probably take 1mg a day for a few extra days.

Subs always seemed to work decent for me, I mean whenever I was like a gram or two a day heroin user they like just barely took the edge off, they helped though idk.
They're probably not gonna get you where you want to be unless you're opiate naive. Think that's kind of the point.
Have you considered talking to a doctor?
