Im so happy to have found this site. I honestly just stumbled on to it. I've been so damn scared the last couple of weeks. I don't mean to ramble, but all my life I've been the most career driven man I know because I love what I do and believe I am here on earth to do it. And suddenly I find myself about to piss it all away because in a matter of weeks I have sunk like a rock into the desert of herion. My life has been affected in every way. I cant believe how fast I am sinking. I can see it and I feel like I can't do anything to stop it.
NA meetings feel wierd as I am seen in the eyes of society as a celebrity and everybody does know me.
Please can someone tell me which the best way to get subotex is. Please..
Hey Jaxi,
Welcome to the board.........sorry ya have to be here like this, BUT seems like you were meant to come here........I'm Bryn by the way.......recovering heroin addict of over three years.......please, ramble? Pshhhhhhh I write novels here, and every single person here rocks.........so purge all ya want........say whatever ya need.........your words speak volumes though......you are so afraid.
Jaxi, so many people on here have careers........many of us don't do NA......some of us have and it saved lives..........personally it's not for me.......and no celebrity am I but and this is just me........I haven't found them anonymous at all...........and again just my experience.
We're mom's, dad's, siblings, son's and daughters, spouses, lovers, and beloved friends.........above all we're human beings who happened to become heroin addicts.
The subbies........I never did them........if ya look down a few posts.......someone new recently was asking.........but many of our longtimemembers have used them.........they can tell you more.
Some people are from the UK........someone from Thailand even was here today....alot of us are the States.........so you can be totally anon.......except say states or whatever and they can help ya.
Meantime hang on.........you have seen the light.........you are taking the first step to want to get better before you just hit the bottomest of bottoms.....that's a good thing..........you want this I can tell........and there's no CO-INKY-DINKS......this site saved my tail a bajillion times, and if we could all do it so can you...........we're here for ya........I'll look through old subby posts for ya.
There's a part on the board just for it too although not sure if many post there.
Hang on Jaxi, K????????????

Alright Jaxi? Welcome to the boards, you're in the right place. Lots of good people on here with good advice. Are you in the UK? If so you can go to your local Drug Sevices. Up here in Dundee they have improved a great deal this past year and the waiting list time is down to 6 weeks..people were waiting 18 months a few years back. you can also go private, i've heard of people getting them through BUPA. I'm not sure about waiting times or that. You're doing the right thing trying to get the Subitex. All the bast, Kev
Hey Jaxi,
I'm assuming you're the one my pal Bryn was telling me about. She asked if I'd give you some info on Suboxone, Subutex or Buprenorphine. You know...the best way there is to get started on Suboxone therapy is to get in touch with an addiction specialist. N/A is a great program but it looks like you need help kicking first. There's a website called NAABT.org. that will tell you about Sub and how to find a doctor in your area. Another good one is Samsha.org You know...I'm curious. How did you find out about Suboxone? (Just a tid-bit about me...It sets me off to hear Suboxone therapy referred to as "Subbies". To me, the term conotates an illicit drug and I believe we need to treat this medication with the respect it deserves. Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest!) Anyway! Go to these web-sites. The information there will help you get started. You can always come back here and find helpful information and support. I'm glad you've made the decision to get help. Good luck, take good care and, come back soon!

Callie said it all......
I think everyone just stumbles on this site. That is how I found it. I am the partner of a heroin addict so things are a little from here. I see things and hear things but dont actually go through the pain heroin addicts do, although I must say I do have my fair share of pain. I choose to cope with it, stay with him and support him and maybe one day he will be free.
I can however understand your pain and how everything can feel like it has been taken away from you because I have seen my boyfriend go from healthy hard worker to a lie about drug addict who will steal and lie to you!!
I can still see the good person in him though and I believe that this person will return. If we didnt have a child together maybe things would be different.
Once he was a real hard worker, slogging his guts out to earn a living, now he will steal to get that hit and from starting from smoking from the foil he is now injecting. My worste fear but I deal with it.
He has been put on a subitex programme but never got into it. He has been taken off supervised prescription because they "thought" he was taken them when infact he was collecting them. He has tried a few times to get himself on these tablets but unfortunately if you do not leave it long enough you may feel some serious withdrawels. Normally advised to leave it 12 hours after using heroin to take subitex but I would advise after 24 hours. My guy has been seriously ill from taking these too soon. Only other thing is I would advise to take sleeping tablets and maybe antidepressants but I would speak to you gp regarding this and he will work alongside a drugs worker to help get you sorted.
Good luck anyway and keep us all posted.

Hi, welcome to the board and good luck with your recovery...
My guy is on Subutex...has the occasional lapse but generally does well on them. Like Bunny said, they can make ya sick as hell if you don't leave it long enough...I think they like purge your system of any opiates remaining...instant W/D. He also found that the GP and drugs advisor told him 12 hours and he needed to leave a lot longer than that.
Keep posting here...share your experiences...it'll help you and others too.
Wishing you all the best,

Wow! Thank you so much for your replies! I cant explain how great it felt to see that people actually took the time to read what I wrote, nevermind reply to it. Thank you for taking the time, it means so much to know that Im not alone.
I come from and live in South Africa. Here, we just book an appointment with our gp on the day and go see him/her. He's been a family friend for a long time, so it's gonna be difficult to fill him in on my recent 'endevours' as I wouldn't want my family to know about it (not just yet anyway). But I guess Im gonna have to swallow my pride and reach out. That is of course if I can get subitex through him?? Might he have other ideas or is it something that gp's do advise?
Today was hard and I relapsed once again. Im smoking about two bags a day now. But I gotta say when I saw your guys replies and support it gave me strength. Tomorrow I will try again! And tomorrow I will not fail. I will def. be coming back everyday to see how everyone is doing. I can't wait for the day I can give someone advise and support like you guys have for me. Thank you again so much!

You have the right attitude Jaxi.........your GP will be confidential.......and if he don't know about the subs he can at least find out for ya how to get them.
Yeah, two bags goes up to ten bags reaaaaaaaal quick.......so you're in a good place to start and you seem to understand it is not easy..........it ain't either.
Everyone of us struggled and do to this day, BUT it gets better we can all promise you that.
You stay tough now and tomorrow is another day.......know we care.
