That’s right friends, it’s been a whole year since I started both Suboxone treatment and this blog. If you care to read me waxing nostalgic about it, please check out my new post over at The Second Road.
I’ve added a new link to my blogroll – Suboxone Talk Zone.
The Suboxone Talk Zone is written by Dr. Junig, who is both a psychiatrist and a recovering addict. His blog is full of good info about Suboxone and addiction recovery, and if you have a question you can leave a comment on his blog and he’ll probably answer you.
Seriously, I wish that my Sub doc was more like Dr. Junig. He really seems to know what he’s talking about, and he has the best description of how Suboxone works at the receptor site that I’ve ever read. (This entry is also a very fine refutation of the idea that Suboxne is somehow slowly poisioning us to death.)
I’ve been having a hard time getting anything done lately. I’m overwhelmed, with fatigue, schoolwork, bureaucracy, inventory at work, housecleaning chores, and doubts about my ability to do any of it. The past week or so I’ve felt my old anxiety starting to simmer under the surface, burning away energy that I can scarcely afford to lose.
So what to do when life calls and I simply can’t just take to my bed for a month or six?

This makes me feel a little hopeful. Please pass it on.
Debra called me tonight. She’s a friend of my mictother-in-law. She’s a wealthy woman, pushy and competitive and kind of phony, but she also has custody of her little granddaughter and the granddaughter and my daughter are friends, so I put up with her.
She was calling to tell me that her granddaughter, Faith, wants to be the same thing for Halloween that my daughter (Little C) has been planning on being for months now. Debra wants to know if I’m making the costume, or where I’m getting it, and do I have any advice about this situation. You should also know that we invited Faith to go trick-or-treating with us again this year because she doesn’t really have any friends to go with in her neighborhood. Got all that?
Now Little C’s costume (she’s going as a character from Avatar) involves vintage clothes that we just lucked into and a kimono that I ordered from work and some props that we’ll be making. We love Halloween around here, and we always try to have a unique costume. So I was a little disappointed that Faith was copying C’s costume idea.
