I was arrested for the first time last year for heroin possession after an off/on (mostly on) 23 year addiction. Since it was my first time in trouble I was offered an AMD (accelerated mistameanor deposition) with 18 community service hours and a fine. I didn't lose my kids and my record was expunged 4 months after my arrest.. I had enough heroin on me to be charged with intent to distribute and I was caught in a swing set up specifically for me. I what I did right was cooperated with the authorities. I was honest about my addiction and my attempts to get clean over the years. don't assume tg
You are replacing one addiction for another. I hope you get this figured out and decide to face all those demons you are running from.
Methadone is not the answer. Just as hangetsu said: You will rue the day. Take it from our experiences. Methadone is not for kicking Hydrocodone. I took methadone for HEROIN! I know you got to be getting more high off the methadone than you ever did the Norcos!! You are so close to being clean. I'm sorry for being so blunt..but this must be said. Methadone is not your answer. In fact. It's the worst thing you can do.
"Today was day two of the methadone clinic. I have to say I feel better I just DO NOT want to replace my addiction with another."
That's exactly what you're doing. Methadone Maintenance is a long term proposition and if you think you've gone though hell going through Narco withdrawals you've yet to meet the devil. Methadone was my DOC but the WD's are the worst I've ever been through. It's your life and you've got to live it but you're making a huge mistake IMO.
The judge isn't going to look at it as you being in treatment either, only see you as another junkie in the Methadone program. You're not doing yourself a favor in any sense by going on the program.
You'd be much better off dropping out now while it's done the job of getting you over the first couple days of Narco WD and seeking a real treatment program that will accept you, even if it take weeks to get in.
It's up to you, but if you stay in the program and become addicted to Methadone you'll rue the day you did, mark my words.
You are all right. Ballgame u most of all. She was/is very mad sad confused. Apparently my brother and step dad have been trying to tell her for awhile and she was/is in denial. Things are a little better now. By no means good. But she's talking to me and letting me take care of my son.
Today was day two of the methadone clinic. I have to say I feel better I just DO NOT want to replace my addiction with another. But I am taking baby steps. We will see. Thank u all so very much for the support and prayers. I have a long long road ahead but I am so over this so I know I will beat this crazy addiction....
I think what good comes of being at her moms is child care! You're mom might not have been nice what she said but she does have the right to say it. She is the one who has to pick up the slack (child care).
You have been committing fraud for months not to mention you almost got caught. You have a child and that's your moms point. You are lucky believe it or not. If you were writing your own scripts for 30-40 a day it was only a matter of time. You need help. We all need help. It's what you do right now that defines you. I don't judge you, I've done stupid stuff and I fully understand the feeling of needing pills. Oh boy do I!!!
But it's what you do now that matters. You have a real chance to literally change your life.
