Good morning!

[feohmoon]

No real question...just wanted to talk....anyone around?

[ladyboop]

Hey, Mor'n all I am sorry I keep asking you about this methadone. But as far as I can see. You guys are the only was here that have got off it.. I mean, Have just gone through it.. Anyways, Yesterday I went to get that list of vitamins. GNC opens at 1000am. had to be somewhere at 1030am. At 1015am they were still not open.. Later that day went to cvs...They did not have what I needed... JUST MY LUCK...LOL...
So going to try again this am...
I wanted to ask you, is day 4 off the methadone any better than day 3??? Just wanted to know... Thanks for all your help, support, and understaning....

[feohmoon]

We are so proud of you!  You have done so well, your patience and your positive attitude will help.  Also, getting past that fear is a big task!  lol
My stomach is still so 'tender' feeling...which is weird, but I am eating and keeping food down, so it will just take some time.  Otherwise, we are doing ok...sleep is tough, but we slept for a year it seems...so whatever!

Hey feohmoon, How are you? Hows your detox? Im doing way better then I imagined, once I stopped fearing this it all kinda just came together, now Im like bring it on! Of course I have to say that I did this so slow that I hardly felt anything except when I took that 4mg drop but after 8 days the anxiety & the lethargic feelings went away, detoxing off methadone is time comsuming but well worth it! Ya know I,ve said this a million times over that I have a very stressful job, its physically tough & you also must have your brain focused, so for me to think that Im actually working on 2mgs of methadone is a major accomplishment. Im almost done, just a few weeks left! I now awake in the mornings no longer having the desire to take my dose, I almost feel as if I really dont need it, who knows maybe I dont? But Im gonna stick to my plan as Im almost their. Theirs nothing more rewarding then knowing I have my life back! Feelings I thought were long gone are back, life is so much better not feeling dependent on methadone.  Take Care Penelope

My dad liked that song too...he always said you don't realize how true it is.
He was always right.  lol

[VicUser]

The song that reminds me most of my Dad is Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Craddle" It was sort of the driving force for me as a Dad and what I wanted my relationship with my kids to be and not to be like.

[feohmoon]

This is stupid of me but.....there are songs that remind me so much of my dad...sometimes, I will just play them...over and over...it is tormenting in one way but it helps in another....it makes me sound like an emotional wreck (which, thankfully, I am not...anymore...lol)
The mind is s strange thing....so are emotions.

[feohmoon]

It has been awhile...since Aug.15, 2001....some things just do not get easier.
Thank you honey, you are so sweet.

[troubleinohio]

I still enjoy smoking too.....but i dont enjoy how it makes me wheeze and cough nor the fact that its gonna kill me if its not too late already for that. Thats why Im quitting, I want some better health back for awhile before i croak, lol.   I am printing some stuff out today that will hopefully help me...one is a picture of black lungs, the other is a picture of my little boys to remind me of the most important reason of all that I am quitting! I will keep the pics in my pocket at all times and when a craving hits I will pull them out to look at

[troubleinohio]

im so sorry about your dad's passing as well. How awful that it happened that way {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

[feohmoon]

That is great that you are going to quit smoking....I need to, but one vice at a time please!  Damn I enjoy the act of smoking.

[feohmoon]

Y'know, this is the first time I have ever participated in anything on line...I am still amazed at how awesome this forum is.
Creates a lot of good karma...
Thank God it is finally spring (although we had snow yesterday morning)...we are so excited about this summer!  I wish all of you were going to Bonarroo!!!  

[feohmoon]

I sat with my dad in ICU after we unhooked his support...the Dr.'s only concern was keeping him comfortable and sedated as he passed...but the high dose of morphine reacted differently on him and it caused 40 minutes of intense suffering.  I am crying right now just thinking about it...that is an image that will forever be locked in with my memories of my father...such a hard thing to witness.

So, how are you doing honey?

[troubleinohio]

good morning, Im here! was just reading some other threads and just saw your new post now. 15 days off meth is great!! You are proud rightly so!!!

[flmagi]

15 Days is great. Congrats.
Yeah, I feel bad for flutter too, and haveing to find him like that is something she'll never get out of her head.  So sad.

[feohmoon]

I am so sad for Flutter...losing your father is something I would never wish on anyone, there is no way to prepare for that...but especially not if your father is a healthy 51.  She has been through so much and seems like a wonderful, caring, compassionate person...I am praying for her.

Trouble - How are you doing?  Today is 15 days off methadone for us so we are proud of that.
