The fear is beyond discription when one does this alone. Ya know if someone could have been by my side like when we are little and mommy takes care of us It would not be so scary. Just that little bit of help knowing someone else cares does make all the difference. Also no one knows the pain and fear like those of us that have been through getting off methadone. To me methadone is evil. It takes mental support mostly and by posting on this site will give you support.There are so many people on this site that will help. All the way through.I my self have read so many posts and have had alot of help from doing so. Responces from other members helps so much!!! Post a question or just ask for help. You will get alot of people that will respond. I my self am almost through getting off still hurting but will not give up.I don't know what exact section you posted in. Knarly will help you I"m not to good at finding my way around this site Because it has different sections I have missed a few responces for this reason so look around and post more than once. Good luck!!!
