opiate dependence
"I started taking Subutex in 2008 after a ten year battle with opioid addiction. Before that I tried methadone, rehab, AA, NA, " Marijuana maintenance  Program", white knuckling it, and tapering on my own. Nothing I tried worked, until I was at yet another bottom my grandmother drove me to a doctor she knows, and I've been sober ever since. The point I would like to make is that the 1st year and a half I was clean, but miserable. The thing that has changed is that I've gotten into a 12 step program with A.A. and now instead of just being clean and sober, I'm happy and recovering. Anyone who takes this route of getting there lives back together, therapy and Rx works, but only for a while. When that doesn't work, try A.A. GOOD LUCK."
