I’m new here and am looking to connect with other people going through what i am. I am considering doing the steps. Haven’t found a sponsor. I’m about 4 days on 2mg of suboxone. I was really really really weak without it but I’m starting to get nervous because i know how hard it is to get off this stuff. Any words will help

Welcome Natasha! 
I’m an ex opioid addict so I can relate. I also took subs in the early days. My doctor insisted on doing a very slow taper when the time was right. Keep being honest with your doctor and everything will work out just fine.
As far as a sponsor, keep going to meetings and listening to the shares. When you come across that person where you think I want what she has, then that’s the one to ask. It took me awhile to find that one but eventually she came into my life.
Hope to see you around here often. Many people with different addictions here but we all have that same goal and that’s to be clean and sober.

Can you tell me more about your taper

Sure! I’ll PM you with details. Being this forum is open to the internet, I don’t want someone that’s lurking to take what I did over their own doctor’s advice. What works for one person doesn’t always work for another.

I suggest in=person or at least Zoom meetings because you will have people around you beyond just the internet. There’s a power in that.
