I know how you feel. I have been on treatment for substance abuse for almost four years now and I still struggle with it. I take Suboxone as a replacement for the pills I used to eat by the handfull, and it has worked wonders. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who has that sort of problem, along with counseling. I see my doctor every 30 days, and have maintained this for a good while. I will be returning to Florida in a few months as well, and while I am not generally a "group" person, I read the posts on here because I find it makes me feel like I am not the only one with these kinds of problems.
