recovery

[slant4]

I have been addicted to hydrocodone on and off for the past three years. (100 mg) per day.  I have recently went through detox, and am wondering how long it will take before the strong cravings stop.  I know I need a plan of recovery, and am working on that right now.  Can anyone suggest things to do to help me get through this?

there is also the methadone alliance.  they are pro methadone, but offer good information.  just search under methadone alliance and you will find plenty to sites under which you can ask questions and be answered.
have a good day all.  i have to get the kids to the swimming pool before they become beligerent.
thanks for all your support, it means a lot.

i thought i mentioned it somewhere, but atwatchdog.org is a really great methadone information board.  you can post questions there, and someone will always answer quickly. don't be shy about just jumping right in there...they are much like this forum in accepting people.  good luck.

Hey Everyone,
  I was away for a day or two. Someone said this forum is habit
forming, It sure is I miss it after just one day.
Angst:
   Welcome back! I was sure wishing you were going to stay. We
all won big on this one. You are a super lady and very intelligent. I know I speak for everyone on this (but don't have to).
confused.grl: Thanks for the info but I can't figure out what
you typed in and what search engine you used to get that info.
I would like to spend three days learning about what I'll probable will be on the rest of my life. Maybe you can come back
at me again and clear that up for me.
  kip: I can't post without saying good morning.
All my other friends I wish you a good day.
Tom

Thank you for posting a question to me I don't know why but i just can't seem to get  anyone to talk with me even when i post a question i'll be lucky if one person will answer me, i don;t know maybe you have to be posting here for a ver long time i order to get anyone to respond to you. well anyways to answer your question i didn't read any books, i just typed in "methadone vs oxycotin for pain management" into ask jeeves and out popped out too many responses to readit actually took me three days to sort everything out. Most of the results that i found said that for long term use "most" doctors would rather see their patients on methadone vs oxycotin. Of course there was also negative responses too , but most of those were for people who abused the methadone.
