I have seen a few people coming off methadone at NA meetings. It was very sad to see. It's a hard drug to come off. My husband took suboxone, tapered too fast, and was soooo sick! He relapsed shortly after all while still attending meetings.
I know he was clean for a while again...because he voluntarily took a drug test so he could "build my trust." I didn't even want him too, I didn't care anymore!! The whole time I was thinking - how sick is this? ughhhhh!! What used to be my "normal" - now just disgusts me!
Seriously, I was as sick as him!!
