Funny thing is

[Holliee]

Anytime I post a question or whatever I never get an answer sometimes I think it is b/c I am on methadone and most ppl on here don't believe in it makes me wanna stop posting.  I say this about no matter what I post good, bad, methadone, family, etc no matter what

Dont stop posting here Holliee......I am guilty of overlooking the methadone posts as i have had no experience so i dont know how to answer.  Cathy is right tho as the ones who do have experience havent been on lately.  mtgoat is here now and has good info so am glad to see she posted.  Hope you have a good night.....sara

I just wanted to say thank you to all that posted and mntgoat thanks I will look into that. I enjoy reading and try help when I can. Right now I am at point I am not ready stop but I don't want to be on forever and I truly mean that. I know it's a trade off. But what do you do when you truly have lots of can't get put bed pain......See I am lost on that part.... God Bless you all

Hi Holliee!
I don't know about methadone but Cathy is probably right, sometimes it just gets overlooked or someone who knows amout methadone just is not here.

I really just come on here to check out all the pretty women!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you find the help you want!

i do not believe in your methadone use, however i do believe in you!!!
you only need one person to have faith in you, just for today

methadone and suboxone were my drug of choice, early in recovery, i was told to change the people, places and things that reminded me of my using days, not that i have been clean for a while, its easier for me

but early on, if someone just said methadone, i would run to the bathroom and throw up, most people on here and struggling to get clean, by tapering or going cold turkey, once someone says "i am staying on the mehtadone" they need little help, no tapering or detox advice, more people will reach out when you start to taper
its like that on EVERY addictions forum EXCEPT for http://methadone-anonymous.org/
and other pro-matinence sites

i actually shared my story at a MA meeting in the clinic i went to in active addiction, what an experience, a recovering methadone addict walking into the clinic, i was not asked back , you can guess why

just give people around here a break, i am a member of several recovery forums, medhelp in my opinion is the best, infact its the new myspace for me!!
again, you dont need a million people believing in you!!

Just For Today
Just for today my thoughts will be on my recovery, living and enjoying life without the use of drugs.

Just for today I will have faith in someone in NA who believes in me and wants to help me in my recovery.

Just for today I will have a program. I will try to follow it to the best of my ability.

Just for today through NA I will try to get a better perspective on my life.

Just for today I will be unafraid, my thoughts will be on my new associations, people who are not using and who have found a new way of life. So long as I follow that way, I have nothing to fear.

holliee, i am sorry your post have been overlooked.  it could be the time you are posting, or if the forum is busy they go to them bottom quickly.  and sometimes ppl dont post when they dont have experience in that particular area.  and i know nothing about methadone.  and i have noticed our memebers with experience with it have not been on lately.  anyway, i will keep an eye out for your post and try to help.  dont quit posting, i dont think it is because we dont believe in methadone...we support all tyoes of recovery, but we also say what we think..lol

I don't know why but I am sorry you feel ignored. Few here know much about methadone(including me) Hang in there. As people get to know you, it does get better.
