72 hours since last dose methadone!!!!

[SmilingBright]

Here we go!!!!  Weeeeeeee. It's been 72 hours since last dose of methadone   And still feeling fine!!!  Praise God. I got 6 hours of sleep last nite!! Had a little rsl bf bed ( took 2 magnesium bf bed).  And it helped.

I really had more wds while I was tapering then I do now!!!  I had night sweats, severe anxiety issues, pacing the floors like crazy, legs were bouncing. Lol.

I'm not too stupid to think I'm out of the woods just yet bc I know How long methadone stays in your system.  I just feel like I did my taper right by listening to all the awesome people on mh say (slow and steady wins the race). It absolutely does.  I have no desire to take a pill!!  Amazing!!!!  

I tapered all the way down to 1.25 mg and finally
Had enough!!  Best decision of my life!!  

Hope all my buddies are good today!!  

Hugs to all!! Christina

Thanks sweetness!!  Go enjoy ur beautiful kiddos on this beautiful day!! Hugs

Well so much for the walk down to the beach/lake...whatever you wanna call it. Lol. My daughter opted for having me do her fingernails instead...wow I haven't done a manicure since I started the detox because of the shaking. Think that I'm getting better all around! Thank the Good Lord...I'm ready for it. :)

Hope you're doing ok sweetie. Just a tip...most of those vitamins can be taken anytime of the day...like me just a few minutes ago...I took a magnesium because my legs are starting to ache a little bit, but the magnesium always helps so I take it when I need it...I don't pop it first thing in the am unless I need it. Maybe I should get the little lady to go walkin with me...it usually helps too :) Stay strong sweet thang!! You're kicking a$$!!!

Hey ponco is back....He was my first friend and first note...He has been doing a taper..He fell off of the face of the earth for awhile...You can check his post out and give him some hope for the taper thing...lol I gald u got those u go girl....

[SmilingBright]

Hwy moose lips, (wink)
Im
Pretty sure I got all the vitamins and even the rhodolia.   Think I got u on that one  too. Lol. Love u hon

We will survive!!!!  Gonna try and get my butt up and do something around my house.  These lazy bones aren't making me happy.  Gotta get busy.

[VICourageous]

OH you know I wake up with some pain issues. I think it is age and the weather..We still have snow but it is starting to melt. The clouds make it cold....You know for me I have been happy since the first week of my brain getting clear..But the body is now getting a bit better..It is age, the weather and I need more exercise..I was very weak in the last stage..BUT I wanted to give u a few tips..Besides the magnz, ds and cal and the other vit/min I use the things that help balance our brain out..There is alot more to help build up the gabba, seintoin and enorphines that we knocked down but I just love the compounded L--s (a-v) they are all of the aminoacids for balnced protein protection..It helps heal...And zoie said something about the Rhodioa Its popular among the atheletes. It provides nutritive support for healthy stamina levels..I just started that one and I can feel the dif..
There is alot we use here but I like those are a blessing. As u know I get my vit/min from a natual source. You can pick up the two I spoke about at the health food store...lol I pray u have no issues at all..You could be a walking blessing on this site..POSITIVE has alot to do with it..I know sweetness had it.. Even if she had alot of issues thrown at her...Gottal love her....

[SmilingBright]

Hello my friend.  I'm trucking along honey. A little run down. But I will survive. All will be fine

Lol! I bet you're right! Have a good laugh and get some fresh air :) I'll come back and talk to you later...it's 2:30 here and I'm gonna get some fresh air myself. Think my girl & I are due to take the dogs for a walk to the beach :) <3

[SmilingBright]

Lol. Think he prob had some
Skid marks after that.  Lol. Going watch it now.

[Sweetness91]

Oh I'm so glad I kept myself from showing that true blonde again! Lol. Lady bugs sound good...they're cute and we get alot of them here :)

I watched that video again this morning...it gives me a great laugh! That guy was totally trippin! I think I would've done pi$$ed myself by the time that car stopped.

[SmilingBright]

Thanks for the laugh sweetness. I need to go watch Jeff Gordon again. Lol. I need a good laugh for my spirit.    

Sending me some bugs. What kind of bugs. Lady bugs?  Lol. Ur so cute.

[Sweetness91]

Wow I really like that and it is SO true! I think I scared myself so much that I made the beginning of my detox worse. There's so much negative info out there about the methadone detox process, and I must've read it all....twice! You have a determination to get through this the best way possible and with the best attitude possible, that I am confident you will be A-OK!

And I'm sending you some ((hugs)) right now!  

P.S. good thing I read that before I posted it because auto-correct turned my hugs into BUGS! Bahahahaha!! That's real cute huh! I'm sending you bugs. Lol.

[SmilingBright]

Here's a good scripture:::  

Those things you fear the most will come upon you.  

I will not have a spirit of fear! But power , love and a sound mind!! Amen.

Day by day.  Or should I say Hour by hour. Lol

[SmilingBright]

Btw going on almost 80 hours!!!  

[SmilingBright]

I know. I feel the same.  I need a hug. Lol. Would love to have a friend going thru this close by. But I will take what I can get.  Feeling blessed.

[Sweetness91]

Awww! You are so flippin sweet. I love you and the fellowship that has grown with us over the last few months.  The only thing I wish we could change are the miles between us!!

[SmilingBright]

Thanks sweetness. Love u!! U are a true inspiration to all!! U rock

[Sweetness91]

Couldn't have said it better myself! You are such an inspiration!! Keep rockin' it!!

[SmilingBright]

don't look at how big your problem is.  Look at how BIG our GOD is!! There is nothing too big that our God can't handle!!!  Taking this one day at a time. Almost 80 hrs since last dose.

Praising god ev step of the way.  He makes the crooked paths straight. He promises He will keep those in Perfect Peace whose mind is set on thee!!!

God bless u my buddies.  When I am
Weak that's when HE is made to be Strong within me!!  Thank you God!! For I am
Weak in my own flesh but You make me strong!!!  

[SmilingBright]

Thanks ladies!! Yes my boys are laying down for their naps.  All Is good in my little world. I truly appreciate all your support. Trying to stay positive and look forward to all the good things God has in store for me!  

God is good. Love u gals !! Thanks

[Sweetness91]

YOU are gonna be just fine girl! Dont let the stress get to you. Easier said than done I know, but blow those little things off like dust!

Doesn't doing your hair and makeup just make your whole day better! Lol. I just got done getting ready for the day...even decided to curl my hair since I got the new haircut the other day...letting it go naturally curly all the time gets old. I want straight hair darn it! Even though it took me an hour to get ready, I feel better and am ready to tackle anything thrown at me today! Hope you're still feeling good. You should feel like you're on top of the world after what you've accomplished over the last few months! :)

[FourJays]

You KNOW you got this no matter what!!!  Relax and enjoy your day (I'm SO jealous of that 70 degree thing by the way - boo hoo).

[SmilingBright]

Thanks Debbie.  I'm pretty sure my long slow taper has helped and will help w this process.  No need to get anxiety now from certain things being posted.  
I am praising god for how amazing He is and always is!!!!  God will get me through this fire without even smelling like smoke!!!   He is so good.  I'm clinging to his word.  He carries me when I'm
Too weak to walk.  Praise god.  Thank u debbie. Hugs

[atthebeach]
