methedone post experience

[VICourageous]

Ok I will try this again. I had a very strange experience yesterday. Been clean for 5 months on a 12 yr methedone and other drugs most of you know my story. I do know about the postwithdraws and I go to meetings and know we are to change places, people,ect. Anyway I was talking to a friend I have not in 5 months we were talking on the phone and I knew she was very high. She does all the scrips I did but now she is also tipping in the crank again (meth) anyway I tried to get her to shut up so I could say so long. She came clean from booze and thinks she is fine. We know just like I did she sub one for another. Anyway it tweeked me into a foggy head and eyes felt foggy I felt like I did to many of my pills. It was not a high but just awful considering I have been comming clean. I have to divorce this 40 yr realtionship due to her drugs.Has anyone had this happen?

Though I stopped calling my old drug buddies, I live in the second largest county in CA, and there are less than 100 thousand people in it. My town is about 3,000 people. I can't avoid people completely. I annoyed my old supplier by talking recovery all the time, when we crossed paths. After I was about 3 months clean, they believed I would do it and started asking recovery questions, then last week, both of them told me they where switching to suboxone to get off the methadone. That's a good fit for them. Our example is important, as long as it doesn't jeopardize our sobriety. I don't seek those people, but the last couple months I stopped running the other way. There's not a one size fits all in recovery, but we have to be honest about what makes us uncomfortable or is a possible trigger.

My family life is better than it ever was. I feel complete, yet still growing. My new job is a challenge, it's different than anything I've ever done. I need that, something new for the new me. Thank vic.

thank you for the info. Maybe I should of posted this in the recovery site for those whom had been clean for awhile. Wharever its good to go. It wasn,t that I wanted the drug but it was a good reminder of how nice it is to be clean and clear headed. It just took me for a loop.  Yes this girl I have known since our tahoe party days back in 1972. So I guess that was our life together, drinking, drugen but we both are very crafty and we sew and paint, BUT that compulsive behavior got us always wanting something to get going. I did call some AA/NA teamfriends and some said what you said others are very set and say throw the numbers away and get rid of all the user friends??? How are we to witness to them in the long run if they can't see our process. I am to old, I passed jails, instatutions it was death for me. I am on a new mission in life now that I added a few more years!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU
I figured you were at work Congrats on being able to be around clean people. I bet your family loves the new you!!!!!!!!
