      It's easy to get on board. At my worst i needed twenty 30 mg oxy blues a day. Id take more if i could too but that was just not to be sick. Now i manage my life very easily with suboxone. It's a crutch yes, but i have every aspect of my life back together.

      Good for you Brandon. I can tell my crazy story but I have a Great Friend who started partying on weekends and ended up taking 30 80 Oxy’s per day and about 300 10/325 Percs per month in between at his worse. He never played Sports. Had an Awesome Job and spent his whole salary and a lot more. He took 10 80’s when he woke up. 10 at 1 in the afternoon and 10 after dinner. He is clean 8 yrs today Married with a Beautiful Wife and Young Daughter. How he escaped it was a Miracle and he never got into heroin which he said was his next step. He was paying 60 to 80 a pill. Insane.

    Ray you’re not alone! Remember watching Ray Lucas play & seeing him in TV. Hole that he’s doing well in 2022. Glad that he stayed in the world.

      Nooooo never take suboxone. The withdrawals from suboxone can last months. Way worse than any Percocet withdrawal
