I need you to know that I was on various pain medications for about 18 years. I am told that a complete recovery could take a very long time. In answer to one question, I used the Thomas Recipe, but I tailored it for my own needs. The vitamins I still use on not such good days. The melatonin helps somewhat with sleep, but Please Understand, TIME clean is your biggest helper. As time goes on I feel a tad better, not much, just a bit. I have days that are a bit worse then the day before, but, overall it's mostly forward motion! I now take over the counter medication only when needed. When I feel "the urge" I focus on the horrible position I was in and don't want to go back, NO WAY! The natural high that I forgot about, is SOoo000 much better than the substance feeling. In my humble opinion methadone is just a substitution for what we were taking, like a "fill-in". It becomes another substance to withdraw from all over again .  Sleep remains an isuue, but I now get about 4-5 hours a night. PLEASE TRUST ME, hang in there, ask questions, and YOU WILL get through this I promise.
May God Bless us all in this fight for freedom

Wow that's awesome, you are doin great!!!  After 30 days is it better?  Do you ever think of it still?  I'm at 13 days and I'm startin' to get that scared and anxious feelin' all over again.  Thanks for your inspiration.  Lil.
