100 hrs since last dose methadone

[SmilingBright]

Still rocking this out.  Honestly felt way worse while I was tapering then I do right now!!!!  Praising God.  No desire to take another pill!!  But will always keep my dukes up against that ugly beast!!!  
I'm not Full of fake energy like I was while using.  But I'm ok w that. Rolling w it. And knowing it will come back to me ten fold eventually!!  Bc my god is good and I am putting my Trust in Him!!  I no longer want to be in bondange to those dumb pills anymore!!!  I love my new self without pills!! The emotions are amazing.  The love I can show my boys and hubby is wonderful.  The laughter in my house.  Thanking and praising God.

Freedom is here!!!  

Sorry if I'm obnoxious by posting each day my hours.  It kinda makes me happy to see my progress.
  Praying u all have a Blessed day today!!!

I did it just for you my sweet thang...I had to post about my eleven weeks today. And I'm looking forward to your positive post tomorrow! You are such a strong person for going thru this with a positive mind. Your faith in God is an Inspiration and has prompted me to get my bible out. For that, I thank you! I needed a reminder that God has gotten me to where I am today :) I pray tomorrow is as great as all your previous days and that you defeat the beast for yet another day! (Which I have no doubt that you WILL!) Shine on baby!! Keep those dukes up!

Well looks like I survived my 1st full 4 days of being Completly clean!!!!  Yay!!  Absolutely amazing.  

I would stress to anyone who is on methadone and thinking of getting off this stuff to do a slow and steady taper like I was told to do.  I have tried countless times to ct off this junk and couldnt bc I was hurting so bad that I couldn't even walk. Much less al the anxiety that came w ct sucked so bad.
  I'm Amazed how well I'm feeling going into my 5th clean!!!!  I'm sure I could still suffer some wds.  But i refuse to dwell on what could possibly happen to me. I know all the things they say could happen  but I'm surely  not going to sit here and expect it to happen to me.  
I'm telling u I've tried this bf and have felt it almost immediately within 1st or 2nd day of not being on the junk    My feet would hurt so bad I could barely walk.  

Just so grateful for my buddies who advised my slow and steady taper.  I owe my life to u!!!!  

Getting ready for my work week. No time for lounging around the house.  

God bless u guys!!!  Keep on trucking guys!!! We got this.  Game on.  Our lives depend on it!!!!

I really honestly ammso grateful for all those who told me slow and steady wins this race on tapering off methadone.    I feel Great.  Almost done w my 4 th day clean   I seriously struggled w more when I tapered quickly than I do now.  Oh and of course the countless times I tried Quiting cold turkey off this crap.  I was miserable.  This is def the way to do it!!!!!   Amazing how good god is !!!

Hey girlfriend just caught this..Now you can start to count the days then weeks then months and ??? YEA great positive thinking.. I have spend most my afternoon in the PMs. I remarked on the last post u did before I went to bed...I said that when u wake up u will have more time in..It is a blessing how much better we feel every morning we wake up...Even when I could not sleep for a long time in the beginning, I knew when the sun came up I was just that much better..Now it is really flying...I still have some issues but the positive thinking and my God sees me threw each min..lol Hope it is very sunny there today..Pass some this way...Its raining but it is melting the darn snow...
