I have battled opioid addiction for almost 20 years now. 10 years on the street and now another 10 years battling the cycle of maintenance abuse of higher doses of a Buprenorphine prescription. Perpetuated instances of reaching bottom and then continuing to abuse. I have physically and mentally been drained. It's almost as bad as using heroin was on the street, just different circumstances. I want to be able to build a healthy, happy life.
