My Ex attacked me on Day one of Methadone

[JBailey]

I have been on oxycodine for 2/3 years, my ex has custody of our two sons 8 and 10 so i could make progress, it took me much longer than expected.  Yesterday i started on Methadone and i went to see the boys at football practice, he asked me why i was higher than a kite and whacked out of my brain. And it was the first time in about 3 years that i wasn't high. just sick from withdrawl and barely starting methadone. Then his wife chimed in and since she is a nurse she knows everything! She says that methadone wont get me off drugs that is is much worse for me to be taking and the only thing that will help is rehab.  I have no money and no insurance just 60 more methadone pills that i have to make count.  Why are people sooooo mean?  Theres no way he knew it was the beginning of a new start for me, but he still found a way to crush my spirit.  Jesus help me!!!  Don't let me give up!  Big hugs for all of you out there!  I love you guys!!!

Oh sorry I meant 60 pills. Wow.  Doesnt look promising to me. I would toss them and get clean one time wds. No methadone wds. I read posts here and it seems they suffer worse than oxy wds.

Sometimes men are 5hits arent they?  And a new spouse had to score points off you of course.  Don't let them get you down.
However, I want to second the methadone caution.  I am coming off it after 5 years and it isn't a fun time.  Additionally it has destroyed my body and teeth.
Use your 60 wisely and seriously consider tapering down before getting another script.
Off everything, you'll have a better time dealing with the ex, being a good mom and feeling better..at least thats what they tell me.
Personally I'm in the taper mode myself and going at it just fine.
Be well

I dont understand why people get methodone to "get off " oxy. I used this forum and the suggestions and I'm free. I will NEVER have to withdraw from methadone thank God.
Are the 9 pills you have left all you are getting?  My ministers wife takes methadone and she really does seem higher than a kite.  Honest.
I was on hydro and oxy for over 6 years. This site and the suggestions can help you get clean. I wouldn't want anyone on methadone watching my 11 year old.

u sound like u have a plan....skew them!  ur goal is what u have chosen and when u make it u can hold ur chin up high and waltz right by them...dont let it get u down..it is too bad he chose to inform his new wife of what is going on if it was between u 2....sit back..do the work on urself u need to do..go to meetings..as many as u can right now...and be sure u know where u r going with the methadone....be safe with it and i dont think i would share anymore of my recovery with him since he chooses to share it with someone who has no business knowing anything about ur plans.....get ths done and stick with it..being sure u are aware of everything u need to do to win this battle....keep us postedd

Ah, I feel your pain. Dont' let anyone crush your spirit, they first of all have never been with what you are going through (??), so I really wouldn't discuss too much in detail what is going on. If something does strike up, let them know you are doing this for a reason, to recover, come clean, be healthy and for your boys. I'm not an advocate of Methadone and I do beleive that Methadone is a transition to become clean and is a substitute for the other drug and the w/d from methadone will be as bad, if not worse as the others....read up on this forum to get more info and this group is very supportive. Good luck, I wish yu the best!
