All Tips/Advice Would Be Appreciated

Hi, I’m a 21 year old woman and I started using fentanyl when I was 15. My mother, father, and sister were all using fentanyl at certain points in my life. My family moved from California to Seattle and my addiction spiraled due to personal shit along with the availability of blues and powder up here. Anyways, while I was in treatment at the age of 18 I found out I was pregnant, since then I have stayed sober but have been on suboxone on and off throughout the years since around when I was 16. Now I’m 21 my baby is now an amazing 2 year old boy, I recently went back to school and got my high school diploma, am soon going to college for marine deck technology, and hopefully am going to get a job as a ferry operator in the future. Although I want/need to get off of suboxone for my MCC (merchant mariners credential). I’m not entirely sure if suboxone will be a problem for me in order to get the credential, I think it would be best to just get off of it now. My regular dose was 16 mg (2 strips) and I’ve already got myself down to 8 mg. Basically I’m just looking for advice or any tips please, thank you!
