1 more day and I'll have been off suboxone for a year.

I'll save my thoughts till tomorrow.

Edit:

I've looked at the stats. Upto 90% of people who stop taking it relapse within 4 weeks and are at increased risk of death.

12% of people remained sober at the 9 month mark.

Fucking sobering.

Yes, sobering. And the fact that you've been off it for a year speaks volumes for your courage and self-control. Dam admirable imo.
