For some reason I can't post in the main thread so here goes...
I've been in and out of this place for years... SCARED TO DEATH to even drop 1mg off 6 years of 90mg clinic methadone. Let me tell you what happened. I was done - went to treatment hoping for a 'magical' ride. The first few days where tough however PLEASE don't believe all the jailhouse talk and (*&^%% in the clinic lines. You WILL hurt. You'll crave like never before. After about day 4 I started to feel better. The "no energy" thing is true, I'll give you that, but the NA people tell me it'll come back. I actually LOOK FORWARD now to tomorrow. I can go ANYWHERE I want. It's a freedom I NEVER thought ****I**** could have. And for the men out there don't be afraid to cry, that helps too a lot! For me, I knew I could NEVER EVER EVER EVER taper (and I have a strong suspicion most here can't either - I don't think an addict CAN taper) That's a debate for another day. Please believe me, if there was ever someone who thought he could never do it was me. I can be and is being done everyday! Day by day.... God bless all who suffer.
You get it done it's so worth it! I'm telling you I was the scariest 48-year-old baby on the planet -- It took somewhat of an intervention but now day 23, if you've ever taken advice in your life take this , it IS DOABLE
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
