Update/off perks since Sept 19

Hi all, just wanted you to know I am still doing good. I have had maybe two weak moments but allowed them to pass, for the most part I have had NO cravings. I am now dow to 2 mg of suboxone a day and feel fine with the wean I am doing. I am now 26 days clean. My habit was 80 - 100 mg of perks a DAY. for a two year period.
With the help of sub I had NO withdraw at all.
Started on 24 mg of subs and it was too much for me, Dr, told me to stay on it but I knew it was to much and took myself down. I am NOT saying dont listen to your Dr. but I have heard quite a bit how this drug is prescribed to high. anyway, I made my last drop from 4 mg a day about 4 days ago down to 2 mg a day.
I have heard of a lot of people getting addicted to the subs and I did not want to fight another problem, so this works for "me".
I am slowly starting to get back into some old hobbies and feeling more myself already. I have a ways to go I know and I am in counseling etc ..
Just wanted to update and thank you :0) Rose

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...


I am glad the weaning is going good but wean yourself off those very slowly and gradually and you won't get any withdrawals. You had a huge addiction at 100 mgs of percs per day and are a big inspiration to others who are trying to quit opiates.
Keep with the counseling and go to NA or AA meetings when you can. Those will help you stay clean.
God Bless
