I don’t post much, but Y’all, I need some people who actually understand, to celebrate with me.

As of Feb 27th, I have been off buprenorphine for a whole YEAR!!! I was so excited until the first couple of people I told just kind of looked at me like “okay, and?” Which absolutely killed any sense of accomplishment. And I didn’t tell anyone else.

Even my partner, who is a recovering meth addict himself, and has been with me through my whole 10yr journey with opiates, admitted he knew the date, but didn’t bother to say anything to me.

Not only did I experience all the typical withdrawal bullshit over the last year, but it’s also been emotionally trying in so many other ways—I have faced many hardships, to include having my 5yo child being wrongfully ripped away from me and not seeing them or even talking to them for 6mo out of this last year. I honestly don’t know how I made it this whole year without either relapsing or ending my own life. Because I’ll be honest…there’s more days than not, that I contemplated just throwing in the towel.

Anyway, this ended up being longer than I anticipated. I just wanted to share that I FUCKING MADE IT!!!!!
