Methadone
Can Methadone be passed/excreted through body fluids on to another person resulting in that person experencing some of the side effects of the drug?

Thank you for your warning. I am stunned that a dr would prescribe oxycontin to a pregnant women, i don't know what to say!!!
Also, 300 people in one town, it must be a large area, that seems extremely high! There must be a ton of drs who are just giving them to everybody and anyone!!!
Even here in South Florida, Drug capital of the US (i think), the death toll isn't even that high, or maybe it is, and i've just been too busy to see all. I've heard a lot though!
Seems very odd your situation, that dr should be shot!!!!!!
Glad you made it through ok, and you life is back in your control!

Thank you for the boot girl, i need it bad!!!!
I'm stuggling here, and i know it, and he knows it!
He cried on the phone and begged me to clean up because he feels he is the one that got me addicted. He is the one who interduced it into the house, but i am the one who got myself addicted!
Dam this is though, i feel like i'm living in hell!
I'm trying as hard as i can to give my children the emotional support they need right now. My 8-year old daughter was having bigtime anxiety attacks tonight, i've never seen her like this. She is afraid of dieing, and she never wants me to die either. She was shaking she was so upset. She's laying on the couch right now watching Nickalodeon, she can't sleep. I think every child has these fears at one point or another during their growing up, i remember feeling this way myself at about her age. I'm just getting all worn out, and i'm trying so hard to keep everything running smooth around here, and it's taking it's toll on me, i'm pooped!!!!
I've been bringing my two daughters to work with me while my boss is in california. I always have my 1-year old, but adding the extra child to take care of, and try to work at the same time, is exhausting. I'm trying to save money on childcare because we are just about out of money.
My husband is still doing fine in rehab, he is making a lot of progress and i am very happy to hear it. I'm still in 'brace myself mode' for when the day comes that he returns home, i'm scared to death.
He even offered, when he returns, to take full responsibility for the kids, while i lay there in bed and do a cold turkey quit everything. I will do it, i have to do it!
I'm sure you guys are getting tired of listening to me say 'i'm gonna do it'!!!! Or maybe i'm just getting tired of it.
I feel like i'm so full of words, but no action, and i'm mad at myself for that!
Once the willy nillies start to set it, it's so much easier to have the magic cure to make them go away. I'm finding it hard to take care of the kids while withdrawaling, and i can't handle even the slightest thing.
I keep telling myself taper, taper, taper, but i don't see my usage going down a bit. It's not going up, but it's not going down. I'm at about 40-50 mg per day.
If anything, thank you for listening to be babble!

Get yourself to a meeting! I have two little boys, remember? You can take your kids with you, it's ok! I have to take mine. There are no absolutes in Al-anon so there's no such thing as absolutely not! You need to get yourself up and get ready for when he comes home. You have been through it before. I remember when mine came home after detox,I felt like I was walking on egg shells. Everything had to be perfect, I was so nervous I would say or do something wrong to make him upset. And you know what? Everything I said and did was wrong, he told me this, and he relapsed. He told me it was all my fault he couldn't take the stress. What he couldn't do was be responsible for himself. Be selfish here...do something for yourself! He can take care of himself. Worry about you first and then you kids. If you are not ok, they will not be ok. So you do what you know is right for you! You have my e-mail and my phone number if you need some help.......Love you sweetie....Susan.....(did you find the book?)
Sweet Cindi,
You have to be one of the sweetest, warmest people that i know, i really mean it!!!
You always say the right thing, and you have such wonderful knowledge, that i know you gained in the hardest way possible. I respect your opinions with the highest regard!!!!!!
My husband always refers to addiction in the same way, the line about it waiting in the parking lot doing pushups!!!! It's a powerful beast, but we have more power than 'it', so i do need to get stronger and stop being a woose! I know, i know, but that's how i feel right now. I'd kick my own butt if i could reach it!!!!! lol!
I admitted to two separate people today, that i am an addict, and that was difficult.
A good friend of mine, from where we used to live, was giving me a pep talk tonight. Robert contacted him and told him where he was, so he had his dad call him to talk. His dad is an alcoholic, sober for quite some time, and really had to work at it for a while before he made it work. It meant to much to Robert to have our friend's dad call him. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives, so understanding and so supportive, it really touches my heart. I don't know what i'd do without all of you, you really are sent straight from heaven.
I'm having horrible anxiety attacks tonight, almost panic. I'm worried about my children, i feel so terrible that they are left with me, the addict mom, to make sure they are secure during this difficult time. My 5-year old son said he misses his dad because "he knows everything". Robert got on the phone with him tonight to talk because i mentioned that he's been having some difficultly lately. Very frusterated and scared, i know. I sat down with him and had a talk, and asked him what he was feeling. He misses his dad terribly, the same dad that he said he didn't want a short while ago. Robert is trying to mend things that were done wrong. He is calling everyone and apologizing. He is working his program, going through the steps and i am so happy for him. He sounds wonderful, and is completely off of everything now. No meds from the doctors at all. Not even antidepressants, which he doesn't need anyway. His main problem is anxiety, which causes him to drink because he tries to numb because he just feels too much, which is why i love him so, he is a very sensitive, beautiful human being. The drinking makes him depressed, not a chemical imbalance. The antidepressants just numbed him further, and made him feel even more dead inside.
I think i am getting alittle closer to being ready to just say "to hell with all the evil drugs, alcohol, etc."
I'm sick of being sick, and i so much want to 'feel' everything again. I know i'm missing out on so much in life living inside this dead mind. Well, not completely dead, but i know i have so much more to give to myself and others.
I just can't face my parents, or ever let them know about this, that i cannot do. It would rip them to shreads! My mom has her own problems, but it really hasn't ever been 'talked' about openingly. This is a secret i must keep from them, and it hurts.
I've been thinking a lot tonight, can you tell?
So i have my son who is very frusterated, and then there's my 8-year old daughter. Her relationship with her dad has always been good. They are very much alike, and she seems to know how to 'play the game' just like he does. But one thing that i see is she is being incredibly clingy. She has always been a touchy feely type, but she is all over me, plus she can't walk past me without touching me in some way. Unfortuately, i am not a touchy feely type and get very claustrophobic! It almost hurts to be 'touched' right now, it is so weird. I don't know if it's the pills, or maybe a sign of withdrawal, but it's awful. I've never been a huggy type, but this is getting ridiculous. Now don't get me wrong, i hug and tell my kids i love them every single day, so they are getting affection, it's just too overwhelming for me right now. I hope this all makes sense, and i apologize for being so wordy! I'm gonna wear your poor eyes out!!!!!!
Thank you for listening, it helps to get all of this out!

My hub just called, and he met with the doctor. Good news is he doesn't have cirrosis, yet, but one more drink, and she said he could get it (scare tactic, but i'm sure he is close).
One of the tests for the liver, came out at 1000 and it should read 40. The dr is confident that the level will go down, and will retest him again next week. She called it a "Holiday" something or another. Referring to the levels being common for people who just came back from a holiday and overdid it too much. I am curious to see how much the level goes down. He's one lucky guy, considering the length of time he's been drinking, and how much he's put in his body, both drugs and alcohol, over these past 4-years.
I need to get real serious with myself and clean up my act. It's hard to go to meetings right now, with no money for a babysitter (not much money for food, much less a sitter), and three children to take care of. All i have are all of you wonderful people to kick me in the ass when i need it, some friends at home, and my family (who don't know about me)! I need to get real strong know, my husband is counting on it, my kids are counting on it, and my life is depending on it.
Wish me luck!
