I just wanted to say quick - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Alycia · 01-09-2008, 07:10 PM

I haven't been on here for awhile, cuz I got back into drugs, and then went to a methadone treatment center for 2 months. And it is possible to get off of methadone. I have 33 days clean right now, first time in 5 yrs! I am still not totally done with withdrawl, but it gets easier everyday.

That's awesome news. I did the methadone detox too, ages ago. It's helpful to have somebody else control your dosages, since we addicts tend to be quite irresponsible with that. Methadone detox is no joyride, but it works if you really want it to work.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are tempted to use again, just remember your methadone detox, and ask yourself "Do I really want to go through that again?"

Hi Alycia,

It's so good to see you here.

I'm glad you're doing better and I hope you can keep posting.

Hi, I don't remember you, but nice to see you here.

**Alera** · 01-10-2008, 12:27 AM

Do I remember you? Heck I remember when you were going in contractions on this board, my friend.

I'm so proud of you and your 33(34 in your time zone) days clean.

Good job. Keep it up.

Hi Alycia, I've been wondering about you. I think about you and wished that you were still with us but i know how it goes too.
You're doing good with 33 days clean !!!

Alycia · 01-10-2008, 09:45 AM

Thanks everyone. The reason, I finally got off methadone was, I was just too tired. Anyone else felt like that? All the money, time, and then always dope sick anyways! I had done a chemcial evaul and was to go to Willmar Mn, on Oct. 22. Two days before that, I found out that one of my good friends had overdosed from methadone. His ma made me promise to go to treatment anyways. I just got sick of ppl dieing from drugs you know! 4 ppl in about 2 yrs. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. And I am still not out of the clear. It is weird how everything is so different right now. I haven't been clean is so long. Things are or seem to be harder. I don't know who I am, or what to do half the time. All I am use to is doing drugs, like cooking with drugs, driving, seeing family, even taking care of my boys. I need to get into out patient but I just found out that I can't go cuz I guess I didnt have a rule 25, and I have no daycare, or no medical assistance right now, weird. But what I can do is come on here, and go to Na meetings. What has anyone else done with this? I see a therapist and other peeps. IDK. Well, I have to get ready for another funeral. My babiest Grampa just died. Everyone have a great day!
