• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Not really sure what brought me to this forum, but I'm gathering more comfort here than any other site I've looked over. I've been taking 2mg of suboxone films for about a steady month. I don't have a doctor prescribing my medications and have been collecting one or two 8mg strips from various people. I lost my wallet with my suboxone inside of it and have been trying not to have a panic attack, as I have no money or medication anymore. I am on day two of nothing and have experienced tolerable withdrawals, however I forgot to note that I forgot I had a few packs of kratom to ease my symptoms. I don't want to relapse and I'm terrified of what's to come. Please keep me in your prayers, I want my life back. Luckily I have support from my family and boyfriend, however they won't always be able to be by my side. I was curious if anyone has ever heard of someone being delivered from drugs through prayer? Any response helps... I expect these withdrawals to last 8-11 days... :( the fear is gnarly. I've been through heroin withdrawals before and couldn't get myself out of the fetal position. Lord have mercy on my soul!

I would say all things are possible with God. I have been delivered myself but I was only in my 2nd year of powder coke addiction so not sure I would have had any withdrawals. Im a Teen Challenge graduate and I was friends with guys who said they were completely delivered and had no withdrawals from heroin and crack and oxy. Some will scoff but I believed them. I will pray for you.

I was a Heroin addict for 7 years.

My advice is to turn your back on the suboxone and never look back. If you truely want to stop using opiates it is OVER. Prolonging it with the subs will not help any. I played that game for a year. The only real way to get past your addiction is to move ON - make the decision to never use again and do whatever it takes to keep your sobriety. The most important thing is you have to WANT IT
"Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now. If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it-then you are ready to take certain steps."​

Prayers are with you! I'm a recovering addict and have been on both suboxone and methadone. Both of them just delayed my deliverance from addiction. My drug history sounds like something you would hear or see in one of those "Tell All" interviews with a musician. NA/AA has helped me greatly but it wasnt until I allowed God to guidr me that my true recovery began! Prayers are with ya!

Flush the Kratom your allmost there. If you can withdrawl in a tolerable manner don't go back, remember the hell you created inside your own mind while trying to find paradise. You can do it come on you are so close. All you have to do now is just not go back. No saboxone, no contacts with the stuff, no kratom, no pain pills, just living. Whoever you are you are close.

I was on Suboxone 18 months ago. I got off it, and have stayed clean since. I'm also a recovering alcoholic, and was in rehab for two weeks, over three years ago.

While I was in rehab, I took the first three Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. In Step Three, I totally surrendered my will and my life to The Lord. Since that day, I have not had the desire to drink. I go to AA, and work all 12 Steps regularly.

Try attending Narcotics Anonymous and experience the true freedom God has to offer you.
