Opiate Dependence
"I started taking Subutex in 2008 after a ten year battle with opioid addiction. Before that I tried methadone, rehab, AA, NA, &quot; Marijuana maintenance  Program&quot;, 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&#039;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&#039;ve gotten into a 12 step program with A.A. and now instead of just being clean and sober, I&#039;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&#039;t work, try A.A. GOOD LUCK."
