Hi,
I have struggled with opiate addiction for 12 or more years.  I used to be on 120mgs of methadone daily, plus Xanax I now stopped the xanax and am only on 50mgs of Methadone.  I am glad you feel good, but I have a fair amount of experience with opiates and the withdrawal process. (I detoxed off ALL addictive med's 3 years ago, the withdrawal was so intensely bad I had to go back on a lower dose of Methadone and back to xanax) As I said though l did stop the Xanax about 6 weeks ago. (haven't noticed any difference)  But anyway, I've heard many people talk about feeling great after only a few days off opiates, many call it a "pink cloud"  You feel great, but then that feeling goes away.  Just be careful and know that life can throw a lot of things at you to threaten your sobriety.  Be on guard thats all I want to tell you.

I'm so Happy to read this.. It is amazing how much the opiates steal from us and the ones we love.. Outdoors takes on a whole new meaning.. the sky is brighter the birds sing louder and it is invigorating !! Your family has missed you I'm sure and they must be over the top with joy.. and you know it just gets better and better as our energy returns.. I'm glad the vitamins helped and continue to do so.. It is so nice to smile and laugh again.. we forget what it is like and when you are smiling and laughing your family is.. I'm so Happy and grateful that you got to this point in your life and You and Your family deserve only the Best !!
