Aa
anbody have any advice for me???
hello, im a little new at this, but for around 2 yrs I was taking methadone no more then 10 mgs per day. I started weening myself down (I cut the pill into 4 small pieces) & only took a small piece a day. my last dose was 16 days ago. but to help with the run down feeling I started taking vicodin at the most 3 a day (5/500) & only for 2 weeks. my last dose of the v's was 3 days ago (only took 2) & overall I feel pretty good. just a little tired/run down, some sneezing, some yawning, & some light stomach issues here & there. I was expecting to feel the full effects by now, or has it just not hit me yet? thanks for reading this. will somebody please tell me what you think? it would mean a lot. thanks again..

I knew you would like meetings. Did they give you any phone numbers? If so, use them. I was about 2 months clean and my kids wanted to go to a music venue down the road. I went and saw people smoking pot and drinking all around me. I sat on a hay bale and called about 6 people, then I told my kids it was time to go. They complained until I asked, "Is it fun enough that you want to risk me going back on opiates?" That settled that, they just started walking home. Point is, keep those numbers with you, call someone anytime you need or want to. It helps the person you call too. Anyway, you're still doing great, I love to see that. Keep on truckin my friend.
Sammy, hope you had a good weekend & I'm glad to hear you sounding so well. Are you enjoying the meetings? Making any contacts yet? Thanks for keeping us up to date. As always, way proud of you!
I was happy to go, the meetings are mon, wed, & fri. but Monday was memorial day so they didn't have one then. but tomorrow im back at it again.
