Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that the transition from pain pills back to suboxone seemed to go pretty well. My son told me the vicodin didn't seem to be doing much for him and he was only taking 1 most of the time towards the end, so he didn't experience much of a withdrawal if any from it. He was, however, having pain that wasn't aleviated by Advil. He went back on the suboxone but he's only taking 1 8mg tablet/day which is lower than he was on before the surgery and getting by with that and some Advil from time to time. He also has a few Flexeril left so he usually takes one of them on the days he has therapy. He is walking around without crutches now but wears the brace yet of course. One day at a time!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Susan
Continued prayers fro a speedy recovery Susan!

Hi Susan, glad that harry seems to be doing well, and back on the road to recovery - both with his knee and his addiction. I'm so glad that I've put it all behind me - it can be such a struggle. When I was having Rowanne, they gave me pethidene, and for one short moment my little addict jumped for joy - but then I had another contraction and the demands of my addict were suddenly and unceremoniously dumped, in the face of a much more pressing concern!
And Darin, I really liked your bit about now being the right time to be happy. Reminds me of when I was using, I used to have this fantasy that "when I won the lottery" or "when I met my knight in shining armour" , that's when I'd be able to get clean, and be happy. It came as a welcome and surprising discovery, when I realised that I didn't have to wait for some daydream to come true before I got my act together, I could do it all on my own, and didn't need anything other than a roof over my head, food in my belly and the love of my family and friends to be happy. It doesn't take much to make me smile...
love
