Yeah and it works better for pain management for a lot of people, actually.

Yeah the basic outline he's talking about is how buprenorphine (the main ingredient of suboxone) has a ceiling effect for the "high" but does not have a ceiling effect for pain relief, and it actually works better for pain relief for most people, than actual opioid painkillers. Then he goes on to talk about how the insurance companies and most doctors won't cover or prescribe it for pain relief because they basically only approved it for recovery.

It's only a matter of time, though. I'm sure once this information gets out there and they fund more studies, they will eventually start using it for pain relief more often.

Oh dead is all gravy now, a sage with that good advice! He lived to tell it. He and I are a lot alike in that regard.

Yeah suboxone for me has been a life saver. Particularly because as I got older my back injuries from the Army got worse. Back a few years ago I had to start going to a Pain Management doctor because I couldn't get out of bed or do anything. I went through a series of steroid injections into my spinal cord, through a progression of stronger and stronger opiate painkillers. Having been a heroin addict in the past, this was getting a little too close to the danger zone for me. Not only did the opiate painkillers not do shit for my pain, they were making me high as fuck and I couldn't even function on them, either.

So, a friend of mine introduced me to suboxone and it works fuckin wonders for my back pain. It's actually a very effective analgesic. However, insurance companies will not pay for suboxone as an analgesic, they'll only pay for it if you're in a recovery clinic. So now, I go to a recovery clinic for suboxone.

I'm pretty much going to be on suboxone for life. Although I can stop taking it at any time, the withdrawals to me are very, very mild. IDK if that's because I'm so conditioned to opiates/synthetic opiates that it just doesn't effect me that way, or what.. But the most I get if I stop taking suboxone for a few days, is a runny nose and maybe slight chills, but nothing compared to full-on heroin withdrawal. . .

But I can say this, suboxone doesn't make me high, at all. I can function, think clearly, and most importantly.. It takes my back pain from a 10/10 down to a 2/10. It allows me to get out of bed and have a normal life without feeling inebriated all the time. It sucks that I have to go to a recovery clinic, but my doctor there is very understanding and calls me "one of her easiest patients" because I never fail the drug or alcohol screening, I never give them a hard time, and she also knows that I'm only there because of my back pain and the insurance issue. So it's been a win-win for me.

Also, I only take like 1 8mg strip per day. I'm prescribed 3 strips per day, which I don't need so I don't take that many. I just keep the extras so I always have a supply.

I was sick for 70 days bro puking burning up could shit anymore, pins and needles, bonkers fevers, cramping up everywhere, depressed out of my mind. 70 days to leave the peak from suboxone withdrawl.
I am really happy they work for you ♥, literally whatever you need.to stay clean do it. I just like to share what happens when you get carried away. But hey I shot 32 mg a day for a couple years after over a decade of heroin. IV has like 5x bioavailibility so terrible fucking idea, just putting it out there. I've been clean clean for years now I only smoke and occasionally trip. But my body never recovered I broke it, ill never feel like myself again. Not to mention those subs deposit the filler in your lungs so I imagine that's probably not good. But yea no hate on them for other people at all. Just wanted you to understand why I shared. It wasn't directed at you dead. Nothing but love brother

Bro, by no means is that what I was getting at. Your top notch people homie, I was just saying that my dude is legit now. I went through Heroin issues in the late 80s. I grew up in Philly, it was fucking everywhere. I actually cleaned up from it totally in 94. Took 3 trips to rehab. But I ended up falling off the wagon in my tower climbing days. Started messing with tar out in Arizona. Then I had a battle on my hands. Birds of a feather is what I was getting at…..

I have mad respect for my pizza boss who taught me about growing oh so many Years ago... but he was known for being the towns crackhead... he got his girl pregnant turned his life around and started his pizza shop... would have never known his backstory... we all have our backstories but it is how we react that defines us

Oh no it's cool man I didn't take it that way at all.

Yeah that sounds like a nightmare. Maybe it's because I'm on a relatively low dose that I don't have such horrible withdrawals like that. Like I said get rX for 3 strips per day but usually take half a strip in the morning and half a strip in the evening, just enough to take my pain down a few notches so I can function.

It has been a true blessing for me, though. And it's not so much to stay clean, I don't have a problem with that these days, it's more just like I said, quality of life type of thing. I think it's fucked up my General Physician sent me to an opiate pain management doctor in the first place, knowing my past addiction issues.

These days yeah all I take is the suboxone and I smoke copious amounts of weed. Like 5 blunts per day min.

I don't even drink alcohol. Got burned out on that shit in the Army. Never had a problem with it, just don't like it. Plus the older I get the less I can handle hangovers

Truer words.. Truer words...

I never thought I would find happiness and peace in my life, but now that I have, I am so glad I made it. Being truly happy and at peace with yourself is a challenge most people never succeed with. I am truly blessed and thankful to be alive, well, happy, and at peace with myself.

Buying this ranch and living 50 miles from the nearest town back in 2015 was definitely a huge stepping stone to achieving that balance, for me.

Hell, my wife has been in Hawaii (where she was born/raised) working her ass off building her business, for the past 2 years. So, I've been out here completely on my own, just me and the critters, this whole time. I never could have done this if I wasn't as balanced as I am, today. Sometimes complete solitude is a great way to achieve that balance people are looking for, too. When you remove stressors like people/drama/societal expectations and distractions, one can find their true selves much easier.

I'm glad it's helping you, it can be a blessing if used correctly. I don't drink either I just smoke these 2 foot bongs all the time and eat cannabutter.

Oh speaking of which - can I get a prayer request? If you don't pray, then say something for good luck, for me!

Why, you may ask? Because my beautiful, wonderful, sexy 50 year old wife is coming home to visit me on the 16th. I ask for prayers because if any of you know the sex drive of a 50 year old woman who hasn't been laid in 2 years - I may need it!!!
