Hello,
I will try and make this short. I am not a herione addict..I hate needles in fact. I recently got married and I have fibromyalgia. so I am in a lot of pain.. My husband lied to me and told me he was taking valium but i found out he had been taking methadone for 9 yrs. I ask him to quit. instead he started giving me small doses of his meth for my pain..next thing i know I am taking his nightly dose of 40 mgs every day for 5 months. I have to get off this..I am going to divorce him at some point in time. He likes the drug and I have made the worst decision of my life getting addicted to a drug like this. I did take lorecet for quite a long time for my fibromyalgia . I am taking 35 mgs this week and plan on decreasing 5 mgs per week until i get down to 5.I have some xanax and valium i can use if needed.. thn..but i was wondering if you could tell me how bad it may be>? I refuse to go to a clinic to detox..I know I can do this on my own within 2 months.I believe very strongly in God and he will be there to help me.
God Bless

Oh god, this is going to be soooooo embarrassing to share. But ok, I'll share it. It really was silly though. A desperate woman's effort to make the best out of the sweats and chills.
I pictured these round little endorphin cartoon characters with stick figure arms and legs and big smiles and eyes. And I pictured them stretching and rubbing their eyes awake and blinking and starting to dance around while in my mind I sang "happy happy 'dorphies, waking waking up!"
Oh god, ok now I'm blushing and feel very very silly.
But hey, it worked for me. Whatever works. lol
Ok Kip, your turn. Tell us about ten junkies in the bush!
love,
A very silly WW

Hi Missy,
I really hear the determination and the surrender in your words. You CAN do this. You really can. It takes wanting it very badly, and it takes putting as much energy into your recovery as it you have put into your addiction, if not more.
A couple more suggestions. Take a lot of vitamin C and B complex. Some folks swear by that. Also be sure to take a multimineral capsule that includes zinc, mangnesium, and manganese.
When you feel the sweats and the chills, psych yourself into seeing this as a good thing. Think about it as your body getting back to normal, getting its own endorphins to wake back up. Visualize the endorphins waking up! I had this whole very silly cartoon image of endorphins stretching awake and dancing around. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but the image really helped. It was so damn silly it made me laugh. I even made up a silly little song to go along with it. lol
Something that got me through the most intense parts was praying, and affirming my love for myself. Just love yourself like there is no tomorrow. Grieve for the part of you that got stuck in the jaws of the Dragon, and rescue yourself from that underworld. Get help. Real time in person help. I had my husband, and I had friends from this forum writing to me every hour. I couldn't have done it without that.
So we will be with you every step of the way. Write me at ***@**** if you'd need some email support.
You can do this, you really can. Never give up. Never stop reaching for the light, as our old friend Wiz would say.
lots of love and light to you,
WW
