How long should I wait to take a Suboxone after taking 7 days of Vicodins?
I guess it would be okay for you to take a vicodin after 48 hours of you not taking any suboxone. Suboxone has a long half life and that means it stays in your system for a long period of time. First of all, why would you want to only be on suboxone for a week? suboxone doesn't work in a week. And if it does work for you in a week then why would you want to touch a vicodin again??

What is the definition of compulsive eating?
Compulsive eating, also often called compulsive over-eating, is a type of an eating disorder. It is characterized by an over-eating (bingeing) food habit. People will begin to eat secretively or even non-stop, even when the person is not actually hungry. Many become overweight and develop obesity-related health conditions (heart problems, diabetes, ect.) Their latent depression then blooms.
Compulsions/addictions of this sort begin as mechanisms to cope with overwhelming feelings. The (eating) behavior starts in order to soothe, comfort and partially anesthetise, but eventually makes the person's life unmanageable. The behavior takes on a life of its own and the person cannot seem to stop it, regardless of the fact that they know exactly how much damage it is causing. The addict is not unaware of calories, carbohydrates and portion control. They simply can. not. stop.
Compulsive eaters have powerful tools available to them for living a saner life, if they get themselves to a 12-step meeting, immediately. Groups like CEA-HOW, OA and FA know exactly how you feel. They are peers, not pros.

What negative consequences come from drug abuse?
Once drug "use" becomes "abuse" it has taken over the person's life to the extent that it interferes with every aspect of living. Negative consequences include: 1) job loss due to poor job performance, excessive absences and lateness 2) divorce or lost relationships because the drug is more important than the people in your life and you will lie to them, cheat on them, ignore them for the drugs. 3) Loss of material possessions because of money needed to buy more drugs. 4) Loss of dignity because of how low you wsll sink to obtain and do the drugs. 5) eventual loss of health because ANY drug is bad for you once it is abused. 6) Death - ALONE - because if you don't wake up once you hit the bottom and get help you will have burned through every family and friend relationship you ever had trying to keep doing the drugs.

How can you stop eating your dry skin and biting your nails?
Yes you can since it is a habit and you can stop habits. I use to bite me nails and one day decided not to, so I replaced it with something else. Every time I feel like I want to bite them I groom them. I carry a file around with me and use it. I have found that when there is a sharp edge and they feel uneven or get broken that is the time I am most apt to bite them so the file takes the place of that. I don't bite them and they look good.
