I am trying to help my husband tonight with his withdrawal from Suboxone. I have searched and searched the internet for hours for recipes for essential oils that help with withdrawal and cannot find any and I am losing hope. I have several of them and just need to know if anyone knows a combo that works well or a few that will help him.
I'm sorry to hear yet another is suffering from suboxone withdrawal. It is indeed a nightmare. I am actually only 2 weeks clean from suboxone after 2 years and many more on opiets. I got immediate relief by taking kratom. It is a miracle plant and you can get it easily and best of all it is non-prescribed and inexpensive. There are several different types which I will be happy to help you with if you don't already know about it. There are also a lot of supplements that will help a lot you can pick up at most vitamin shops. Let me know if I can help more. Good luck!
Kevin:
We'll check in together in a year or two and see how you are doing with your recovery.
The biggest problem I see (and experienced in 1989) was that I thought recovery should be easy, fast and painless.
In the end, it was none of the above.
There is an AA oldtimer that says:
" I wouldn't trust a 2 yr clean/sober person to mow my lawn"
When you get 10 yrs clean/sober you'll understand what he's talking about.
You do whatever you feel needs doing but try not to kill anyone else with your 2 week's of wisdom "advice".
I can't let you do that ....
Too many people here listen to the "pie in the sky" promises of painless withdrawal and recovery in a week. For most of us here it is a deadly dream to try to follow.
I wish all the best.

If you think that what I advised could potentially " kill " anyone papa bear then I think you are more in denial than most. I'm sorry but when you hit bottom and you know that there is no going back, just forward, and you are in full blown withdrawal from opiets or suboxone, going to a meeting and talking about it is not something that's going to give relief. I think that AA is a great program but it's not what everyone needs. It has its place and is a very helpful tool but does nothing to ease withdrawal pain. Have you personally been there? Or is your nightmare only include alcohol? That and opiets or heroin or suboxone are on different planets. I see you posting the same info all over the forum like AA is a one size fit all. Not everyone needs what you needed. And my advise is just as safe as yours and I promise they will feel much better taking mine. Have a great day and good luck with your personal demons
I've been there.
If you've read my posts in other forums you would know that.
I have never said that AA/NA is "one size fits all"
What I have said is that at the end of the line if you are indeed powerless we can help.
I stand firmly by my post and look forward to talking to you again in 5-10 yrs.
The drug of choice isnt that important either.
It just makes you feel that you are different than the rest of the addicts.
You aren't.
That's why The 12 Steps is in every program (alcohol/drugs/sex/gambling/smoking etc)
I had the hardest time quitting smoking cigarettes than alcohol or Valium .
Good luck.
