Congrats....day 9 is awesome!  I know how hard you've worked to get there and am glad that you're seeing the light at the end of that tunnel.  Yeah, sleep was definatly the last to return for me but it did,  just as yours will.  Actually, I'm quite amazed how how long we can go without???  lol, I didn't think it was possible?  Don't try and take anything to help you sleep (pharmaceutical wise I mean) b/c it's more than likely not going to work and honestly, I'm sure you don't need any help "feeling" tired!  We feel like that already through this process.  Keep your head up and your eyes on that prize!  Methadone w/d is hard ****....you must be a very strong person to be able to endure it....be proud!

Yay!!! Congrats you are doing to great! Sleep will be the last to return but it should get better and better! I would try to distract myself so I did not just lay there all nigh! Reading or even watching TV b/c I knew I wasn't falling asleep until like 3am.
Keep up the good work and KEEP THAT GUARD WAYYY UPPP!!!!!!!!
