Shame is what can keep you from coming back from a slip, a bump, a fall off the wagon. You have the desire to live sober, and did so for 3 years. Be proud of that and forgive yourself.
GOod Luck!!
KDi in TX> hey lindsay, thanks for the support. interesting story you've got there. i can certainly relate to parts of it. today i called a doctor in my area who puts a lot of people on suboxone. they require a three night hospital stay to get you started and told me i can check in this friday if i would like to. the plan would be to detox me with the sub on then prescribe it for me for maintenance. i was hoping i'd be able to get on the sub without a hospital stay, but i think i'm going to not look a gift horse in the mouth. i'm planning on going in on friday. in the meantime, i'm trying to stay in between withdrawal and nausea (this hydrocodone has a tendency to make me feel sea sick). it's weird, on the one hand, i feel hopeful that my depression will be better once i'm on suboxone. and on the other hand, i'm ashamed and embarassed to be going back into detox after being sober and mostly functional for the past 3 years. i got to take care of myself though, no way around that. thanks again for your support.
