love yall!

Great heartfelt interview! Glad the man is back in the rooms. 💪🏻❤

Clicked on this so fast - I twice went off everything including caffeine for just short of a year , what was so difficult in those last few weeks and months is that there stopped being any improvement whatsoever, and I was not happy , not living any kind of life - I would tell myself , I’m not going to die , I’m sure I’m going to survive this now, but , I don’t really want to . I just didn’t want to live a life that miserable- what is the point? For me, a large part of things is that I do have a chronic pain and disability , that’s how I was introduced to addictive medications in the first place . For my experience, substances were from a doctor prescription for a medical condition and given to me by a pharmacy, and for the relief and quality of life, the medication was truly a God send - but these kind of medications can’t be effective forever, we build tolerance - for me,’the options were maintenance medications , which were truly again a Godsend to become free from the opiates -the pain relief of course has a ceiling and isn’t going to touch all types of pain, it’s just how it is,‘kind of have to pick your battles right ? To come off of the suboxone is not easy either , it’s just not as savage as with full on opoiates, it’s slower and longer - but outside of the first 3-4’months , I got to a point where there just wasn’t improvement day to day or week to week, each day each week was the same miserable ,’dark nothingness - it was physically survivable ,’but , I wouldn’t recommend it - I’m sure there is a way ,‘I just have not found it yet-‘
