opiate dependence
"after the war, I became dependent on opiates to relieve back and knee injuries i sustained overseas.  overtime my addiction grew into buying oxy and roxy and using 60-150mg/day.  my addiction took control of my life and i was using just to fight off the withdraws.  i went to the VA got put on suboxone.  it took care of the w/ds and I am happy to say I'm free from the demons that are opiates.  take that first step and realize you have a problem, when you are ready get this drug prescribed to you.  it helped me become the man i once was and i am grateful.  also, learn your triggers that lead you to use opiates and avoid them."
