Lol....I agree, all people are different....but....an addict is an addict. I would also venture to say that if we knew how to use successfully, or knew how to handle life on life's terms...we wouldn't be on this website. Doing it alone is a disaster waiting to happen for am addict.
Sub's take a long time to get off of....I'm speaking from the fact that I got off of them myself, and its NOT like getting off of opiates. It takes much longer and in my opinion, is very tough....
