Using Suboxone to deal with addiction

Okay, apparently today we’re in love with the blog What Winner’s Do. I followed the link in the previous post and read over more of that blog, and noticed this all together fascinating post about Suboxone:
Prior to me admitting to my family that I had an addiction to Oxycontin, I had stopped using the drug for periods of time. It wasn’t pleasant but I would either ride out the withdrawal symptoms, or I would take some Suboxone that I got off the street. I would then vow to start fresh and not use anymore.
That would last for a week, maybe two and then I would be back to my old ways. Using Oxycontin everyday and steadily increasing my daily dose. This pattern went on for a while, but I didn’t mind because I knew that if it got bad enough…I could find someone with Suboxone and I could ease my way out of my physical addiction to Oxycontin.
That works physically of course but as we all know my addiction goes way beyond the physical. So it seems that by me purchasing Suboxone off the street I was doing nothing more than prolonging my agony. I was delaying the inevitable fact that I was going to need to find help for my addiction.
Read the whole thing. Really.
