Life After 4 Weeks Clean

It’s hard to imagine 4 days clean, let alone 4 weeks clean when you’re stuck in addiction. Yet, seeing long-term sobriety after starting Suboxone Therapy at Nashville Recovery is something we get to see every day.

We recently asked a patient few questions upon celebrating their first month in sobriety. Though we can’t mention her name, we’d like to again wish her congratulations on doing such a great job in the program!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST WEEK OF GETTING CLEAN.

“Dr. Wilkerson told me exactly when to start taking the medication, and I probably waited longer than I needed to. I just wanted to be sure I wouldn’t run into precipitated withdrawals. I got the free medicine from you, and started about 12 hours after my last use. Maybe I’m one of the lucky ones, but I felt incredible in about 25 minutes of taking it. I ate a huge dinner (with dessert) and went to bed. I slept better that night than I had in years.”

HOW HAS LIFE CHANGED OVER THE PAST 4 WEEKS? 

“So much has happened. I’m back to work. I told my boss about recovery, and she was totally cool about it. She says I’m a different person now, and has been helping me by letting me go to AA meetings every day at lunch. My husband says I’m acting more like the wife he first married. My mom says she can see it in my eyes again that I’m happy and clean. Nashville Recovery saved my life.”
