That's what I said to him. I can either stop taking them for a bit to get them out of my system, or get someone else's piss who I know is clean. Either way, there are ways without me completely getting off the meds.
These are all just excuses like Lu said to keep you there underneath him. You know it's true.
Can you work in an industry while currently ON Sub? IDK. But that's actual *years* away for you to see what happens right? You can sure as shit do other counseling (non drug and alcohol I mean) while on subs. He's just yanking your chain to make you feel shitty and dependent.

Honestly, it depends. Some places do test for Suboxone, but others don't. It kind of depends on both the job that you're applying for and whether or not the company is okay with having to dish out extra money for a more extensive drug test. The standard drug test, I believe, only tests for opiates, amphetamines, barbituates, THC, cocaine, benzos, PCP, and perhaps methadone. Suboxone can be added on, but it's not really a standard thing for most places. But for a drug counselor, I assume it's a possibility.

But the other thing is that Suboxone has become a very big commodity on the streets (although, as of late, it's actually died down because a lot of people are getting on them for free). But my point is, even if they do test for it, if the person is prescribed it, they might not care. So it really depends on a lot of factors whether you can work and still take it. Aside from a drug counselor, I can be a social worker or a case manager, or something to that extent. I can still work in mental health, just not as a regular therapist.

They're not testing for that shit @Aurelia I can't think of a single time I've ever been tested for that and I've had a fuck lotta drug tests for jobs. Hell, half the jobs tell you they're going to test you then the panel is like 4 or 5 things. We're barely even testing for MJ anymore here in CO.
You don't know what circumstances you'll be in that far down the road either. What if you're not even taking that in 3 frigging years... ? It could be a non issue at that point. It could be something you just clean up for the day for. It could be something they don't care about. It could be *anything* but regardless of alllll the various things, you can deal with it later when you're much closer cause whatever it is, it's not a show stopper.

i'm doing great. a lot of my issues causing me stress , depression, and anxiety are starting to resolve themselves. one of my main issues was my rear brakes, don't laugh. i have been looking for rear brake drums for four years because i have a rare car. we finally found some and when they came in they looked way to big. but it took us 2 days to install them and adjust them. i was nervous every time i drove my 64 dodge and kept checking how much brake petal i had left. so that's a very big anxiety issue gone, silly or not lol...mike
Glad you got your brakes done.

So I was thinking about doing an accelerated bachelor's degree program online in psychology. I expected my husband to be happy for me and supportive, and he wasn't, really, because I guess he expected me to get another retail job and help support us instead. And if I do this, I'm not going to be able to do that because I was told by the enrollment specialist that this would take probably 25-35 hours a week of studying. So I can't work and do that at the same time. And I decided that an accelerated program would be best because it's basically the quickest and cheapest way to end up with a degree. If I did it the traditional way, I'd need quite a bit more for tuition than I do fo this. And would probably have to take out more loans, if they even let me. And then he was also like, "Well, we can't even afford a computer for you for this, and if you want to be an addiction counselor, you can't be on Suboxone or Klonopin." And I don't even know if that's true or not since they're prescribed, but even if it is, I could just stop taking them until they're out of my system for the drug test and then go back on them. So I don't really think it's that big of an issue. And if I don't do this, I feel like I'm going to squander a good opportunity, my loans will end up back in default, and it probably won't be as easy to get that fixed a second time. And also, I don't want to work fucking retail. I'm not the type of person that can commit to something I hate that doesn't even pay well, and just keep doing it for the rest of my life. And I don't technically have to be an addiction counselor either. I just figured it was probably the best option with a bachelor's in psych. But I technically have two associate's degrees. One in social and behavioral science and one in general liberal arts. So I'm pretty sure I could also pursue a different liberal arts option. So I don't really know what to do as far as what I'm striving towards. I guess I need to figure out what my options are and then decide. But regardless of what I choose, he's making me feel guilty about it, which I don't understand because he was supportive when we first talked about me going back. And now that it's becoming a realistic possibility, it's like, he's suddenly not.
I know a great solution to that. Tell him to fuck off and do what you want, it's your life. :P Ok I'm being cheeky but seriously, don't let anyone hold you back from achieving what you want in life, not even him. You're smart, talented, intuitive, and you can rock it, girl. We all believe in you. <3

My pup is acting kind of weird, and crying from time to time randomly. I'm worried that something is wrong or he's sick or something. When I play with him and pay attention to him he seems okay, but when I start doing my own thing, he'll lay down and just cry for no reason. And normally, when I feed him, he goes right for his bowl. But earlier, he seemed kind of hesitant, didn't rush to it right away like he usually does. He still ate it, but something just seems off with him. Nose is still wet, the ears seem maybe a little warm, but not really abnormal. So I don't know what's going on.
keep an eye on him. it's probably just a stomach ache or something else not too serious. but if it continues or gets worse take him to the vet. and from what you described there is one other possibility. he may be faking to get your attention. one of my dogs shakes really bad if i ignore her or refuse something. we took her to the vet and the vet said she was faking. so if she's sick or seeking attention i hope she feels better soon...mike...

Nice to know I dont turn my bf on anymore...he can barely stand to touch me.
if a person loves their partner they always look good. my wife was never what others would call good looking but to me she's beautiful and even though age and gravity has happened i still think she's beautiful. if your bf doesn't feel that way about you then dump his ass and find someone that does find you attractive...mike...*hug*console*shake

Woah. I'm sorry I didn't know about this. I'm glad your mom is out. How is she now? *hug
Yeah I didn't tell a lot of people. It was too much to try to update people. She's doing okay. She's still covid positive, but she is getting stronger. She seems much more like herself when we talk to her.
Keep updating me bae. Any updates for how long she has to be stronger? *hug And.. Not so much update on public here anyway, cause if we share so much, I know people are gonna be assholes so..
