Methadone/subutex detox update

It's been 49 day no methadone and 17 days no subutex. I am finally sleeping again and my energy is substantially better. I feel like I have finally made it through most of the physical part. Thank you to Hangetsu, Gnarly, and Clong for the practical advice and thanks everyone for the encouragement. I can't say my approach to detox was easy nor did I completely skip the methadone energy crash, but I have never felt this good after 60 without methadone. No matter what, one must be 100% ready and willing to do what it takes. Thank you all for being here, you helped save a mans life. No pink cloud, but definitely gratitude.

All of my energy was focused on my sobriety, now I am focusing on how I am going to do things in my life differently. I am experiencing the phenomenon of, Now What?
