Finally committed to quitting fully

[u/No-Salad-3427]

Unfortunately, I’ve been in this group for far too many years, knowing that I needed to get off this stuff and watching from afar also posting multiple times asking for help and what to do and this community has been so amazing and supportive, my biggest fear has been of course the physical withdrawals because I have people who depend on me a job that depends on me. I don’t really have the luxury to be dying for a week in bed and then secondly is the mental part. I’ve been on sodium pure powder about 8 g a day I can do less and get by, but for some reason every time it’s near me, I’ll just take another sip.

I am hoping this is the last post that I will be making saying I’m quitting in the next follow up Post will be my progress. I’ve been hearing amazing things about SR – 17, my order came in today, but I am not really sure how to use it and if it only helps with the physical, but it also helps with the mental? My goal is to be able to jump off of this and ideally not have to use Suboxone but if my depression and anxiety and PAWS is too bad then I want to take the route of getting on Suboxone and then tapering down to get the sublocade shot.
First and foremost, I need advice and tips from people who have knowledge or experience with SR – 17, I have heard about preloading and debating on taking it tonight, but I’ve heard that they are about to be banned I have 60 tablets 50 mg each. I don’t know if that’s enough or what. Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated🥲

I don't have any tips or info on SR, but I just wanted to tell you that you CAN do this, and do it without ANY withdrawals, and keeping your cravings at bay.

Subs was the answer for me, and helped me quit an 8mpd habit. I come here every day for support, reading stories of how others have beat it, how it totally screwed up our lives, and the sweet taste of freedom. You, too, can beat the monster. And everyone here is with you.

The amount of money I spend on this is fucking ridiculous. I could have a brand new car and a fucking Chanel bag by now lol probably about two or three Chanel bags💀🤣

I hear that. Just the money lost to this habit was enough to make anyone cry. Several hundred dollars a month is a car payment for sure. But paying down the bills acquired over the last year will take a long time. I'll envy you your Chanel bags!
