Well, first of all, I admire you for posting! I've known several who have done well on suboxone, but I have also known several who have sworn that it was worse trying to come off suboxone than it was any other drug, let alone the expense of it. My advise to you would be to try going to a medical detox and from there, you really, really need an inpatient rehab facility. There are more choices out there, than what one might think. Ky is not the only place to find that....in fact the better options are sometimes out of state...and can also include your children. What would you think about that, if it were made possible for you? |

Just tell them your situation and let them give you direction from there. As for the suboxone, I have checked with several that have been on it, and from what they have told me, just in the past few days, they would not recommend going on this program. They swear its worse to try to come off it than it is to come off the other drugs. Bear in mind, I havent been on it, so I, myself, cannot speak from experience, however, I have spoken to 8 people who are in recovery and doing well, who have stated that had they remained on the program, that they would have remained on it for years, spending thousands of dollars, and it was just another drug replacing the ones they were on and that the withdrawal was ten times worse. This is something the drs obviously dont tell. To get in to most recovery facilities you must be detoxed. This does not mean a medical detox. If you've gone 7 days without anything, then you are usually considered detoxed. There is no EASY way to STOP using and it be effective though. The memory of DTs sometimes is what will keep you from going back. I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GET INTO SOME MEETINGS AT ONCE, WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO GET LONG TERM TREATMENT OR NOT. They have open meetings for women only at CAP on Monday nights, at Renfro. Dry Dock in Richmond several times a week, Celebrate Recovery at Corinth Baptist in London, and Eagle Heights in Somerset, SWAT at Northside Baptist in Mt Vernon. Find a local church body to serve the Lord and have other spiritual people who will pray with you and hold you up when you feel weak. The only true deliverance is thru Jesus Christ. He is the only one that can fill that void in your life that the drugs have filled in the past. I am praying that HE will deliver you from this addiction...........but you must be willing. In Jesus' name I ask that He remove this addiction from you and that you surrender yourself to Him and allow Him to work in you. AMEN |

Have you been able to check into any of the places that were mentioned before? You've really been on my heart. I cant help you unless you're ready to step out. That means alot of sacrifice. If you think you can do this without going to rehab, that's great! Through Christ, all things are possible! Satan wants you to believe otherwise, but dont listen to the things he places in your head. He's the one that you got you where you are. I dont know what town you live in and thats not even important, other than the fact that my heart is so heavy for you and I know that you need so desperately to be among christian people who can lift you up and let you know just how lovely you are in the eyes of God. It doesnt matter what your past is full of. God forgives you of all of that and He forgets all the ugliness and wipes it all out and gives you a new life in HIM. But its up to YOU to take the first step. You've made the effort to cry out for help. Now the next step is to turn to God. If you're in the areas that were mentioned before....Pulaski county, I strongly recommend Eagle Heights on hwy 914, off of hwy 80. If in Laurel, Corinth Baptist in London. If in Rockcastle, Northside Baptist in Mt Vernon. If you're from someplace else, then ask around or google for churches in your area that has programs for addiction. The biggest thing you need right now is Jesus Christ. He is the mighty HEALER. Please update me with whats going on with you.
Todays prayer for you..."Dear Father in heaven, I come to you, asking you to please put your hand upon this young lady who is crying out for help with this addiction. Lord you know her heart and you know the misery that she is in. In the name of Jesus, I ask that you deliver her from this addiction Lord. I ask that you clear her mind so that she may see the direction that her life is taking and what SHE must do to change it. I pray Father that she realize that without YOU in her heart, and without surrendering her life to YOU, that she doesnt have a chance in defeating satan. I pray now that you will place a hedge of protection around her, as well as her children; that you protect her from the evil that is in this world and that you put a barrier between her and anyone or anything that places her in a situation that is harmful to her body. Please give her courage and strength to fight the demons of this addiction. I ask this in Jesus' name and for His sake. Amen" I have faith that if you will believe in the Lord and you will call on Him then he will deliver you and He will save you. The choice is YOURS now. May God Truely Bless You. JOH
