Just seeing how everyone is doing

It's not really a question but an update. I guess from the last post I ended my 14 year trips to the methadone clinic. I just wanted all those who talked me through everything ,that I am doing so good. I surprisingly have none of the pain the methadone was suppose to be taking away.My body hurt way worse on it than now. I just went and walked a 10 mile corn maze with my family. I think back to 10 months ago ,my husband almost died and when I went to the hospital I had to be taken in a wheelchair. It's hard to believe I was so bad .My weight dropped after stopping and I lost about 100 lb of water. I have no anything I was told I would have. No cravings for methadone or pain meds. If anything mad I lost so much time .I am going back to finish getting my black belt in martial arts. I want to sort of retrain since I was young when I studied. I need the work out. I am back to playing piano, and finishing my book. My husband and I are doing better .I was pretty much in a coma for 10 years do to my thyroid shutting down ,My meds never worked until I got low on the methadone. I had bits of a kind of sensory overload for a month or so. That's about it .It was like things that  we asleep just woke up after a decade. I just biked and dealt with issues that had happened during that time after talking things out I was fine. I just wanted to tell people I had no withdrawal ,I never got sick the worst of anything was just adjusting to eating right all the people that helped me, I m so grateful .So to them I am still fine. Life is so much better awake!

I say I felt like I woke up from an opiate dream, all the time. I woke up in an older body and mind. I am having to go through some if the phases I missed in that time on methadone. I'm glad you are doing so well, I never craved either. I have been glad to be awake the whole time, even through the hard parts I experienced. I am so happy for you.
