methadone withdrawls

[mystimom1]

I am currently taking methadone.I have been on it for 4 years now and I have one more day left of meds and I am really scared of doing it on my own.I have been through the withdrawls before but only for a period of 2 days and I know that this time is going to be the last of my meds.I want to know if it is possible to do this on my own and what i can do to make it easier for me.

   Hi Everyone, Today is a depressing day, Im learning that Im not only a pill-addict, Im also addicted to gambling, thank-goodness Im financially set, but what if I was,nt? Its still taking a piece of my sanity everytime I gamble, it really causes me great depression, but at the moment while Im in my gambeling moment, its a rush, but when its over I hate myself. Im also addicted to food, Im blessed with good genes, beause I stay thin, regardless how much I eat, but the fact of the matter is- I think Im still in my drug addiction without taking the pills, does anyone understand this? Yes I quit taking oxycodone 2 1/2 years ago, but I still have all the ugly habits that went with taking the drug, and for some reason it is finally sinking in. I still feel that I need help, maybe now more than before. Maybe Im kinda like a dry drunk, only with the pills, oh and before the pills their was alcohol, Im a mess, has anyone ever gone to AA or NA? Ive heard lots of people getting help thru these groups, Im wondering if this might help me? cause Im ready to begin the journey of recovery. My gosh even though Im depressed today, in a way Im happy, cause Its sinking into me that sure Ive got some help with my addiction but I dont think I really wanted it, but now I want it, and I want it bad, Im tired of living like this, and Im so,so ready to taper off methadone. This monday is the taper day, Ill go from 85 on down to nothing, does anyone have any idea how long this taper will take?  Thanks for listining to me vent and spill the beans a little.   Penelope

    Hi Everyone, Im new to this forum, Ive kept my addiction a secret for 10 years and plan on keeping it that way. You see It all started around ten years ago with a few vicodins from a ex-boyfriend, had I known then that he was a addict things may be different,not to mention I was a addict, I just did,nt know it yet, I was so infatuated with this guy I thought he would never give me anything to hurt me, boy was I wrong. Anyway I dumped the boyfriend, but kinda kept him around on this side dangling and just leading him on, giving feeding him with lies that maybe someday we might get back together, while I knew in my mind no way! I kept him around for the bigger and better drugs. You see by this time he was getting oxicodone, and he was more than happy to share with me daily, just to be around me. The big thing is that I was married so I had to hide and lie just to see this guy for the drugs, reality was I was having a affair with the drugs, that was my main focus, I was so addicted Id of done anything for them. Anyway time went on and I realized I need serious help, and I tried, but I couldnt go into rehab cause my husband might find out, then of course the exboyfriend would be exposed and my husband would never understand it wasnt the guy I liked, it was his drugs. So 2 1/2 years ago I sought out a methadone clinic, at the time it was a god send, and keep in mind my husband nor family never knew or still dont know Im in this program. Well I decided over the last few months its time to get off this controling drug, Ive been clean and sober for years and Im gonna start weaning off the methadone this month and as Ive said before I have zero support, thats where you guys come into the picture, Im hoping if I have any questions or concerns you will be there. Oh and as far as the ex-boyfriend goes, he did,nt live thru his addiction, he died in August from drinking himself to death. Which has been horrible for me, cause I really did care for this man, and looking back now we both took each other down, he just could,nt get it together, and I dont want that for myself, I have two wonderful kids, a husband and a wonderful home, I just want off the methadone, since being on it, it seems like I have no feelings, I dont cry, dont laugh, or feel anything but a straight line, its awful. So I want my life back! and I will acheive this goal. Thanks for listining.                         Penelope
