Opiate Dependence
"I&#039;m thinking back to 2006 when I was first put on this drug by a doc. They promised me that it wasn&#039;t like methadone... They promised me ZERO withdrawal... &quot;It&#039;s not addictive,&quot; the docs said. They started me out on 24 mgs a day. What a joke. 
Here I sit, ELEVEN YEARS later... Still hooked on this soul stealer. 
I am once again trying to stop on my own. It&#039;s been 48 hrs since my last dose of .5 mgs or maybe a bit less. Idk if I&#039;m going to make it, but I want to. I want a chance to actually live my life. I&#039;m 36 and I don&#039;t have any children. I wanted to have children... but felt it was irresponsible to get pregnant while hooked on subs. I hope it&#039;s not too late. 
The only good thing is that it kept me off the streets"
