Just started my first day of sobriety. I used opiates

Just started my first day of sobriety. I used opiates and had gone the recommended 24 then took Suboxone. Without the subs idk if I could’ve been strong enough to keep going but they are the only thing keeping me from feeling sick and like my only option is to end the sobriety. So I’m just nervous going into this, more than I am scared. I hope I can stick to the plan and be done with it for good.

The hardest part for me personally is getting it out of the daily routine. Getting off work, waking up. Best times to do it. Now to find better healthier ways to relax afterwards.

Yup it’s gonna be fun to realign myself with more genuine activities. Instead of sitting on the couch because I was satisfied, I’m ready to find that satisfaction in the world & in life.

Keep working a daily program along with the subs. Hopefully soon enough you can get off those as well! Good luck bud

I did methidone for 5 years and felt the same way. But it works as long as you do it for the right reasons. It helps you loose that addiction to going out and finding it after a while you will get bored of feeling dependent on something and you will decide at that time to get fully clean. But don’t ever let anyone tell you that your still a addict if your on subs. Because your not. Your in recovery and people will try to tell you that. Just don’t listen and do what you know is best for you.
