Well, I've been tapering methadone now since Sept. I was on 80-90mg a day for over 7 loooong yrs. I've managed to get down to 1.25mg now. It all started with lortab, perc, oxy, then "u need to go on methadone, it's so much easier to get off than lortab." Oh how I wished I would have done some research on that one! All I did was trade one addiction for another more powerful one. So for over 7 long years now I've taken methadone everyday, just to feed an addiction. I feel so guilty now looking back, at the time I thought everything was great, but now that my mind is so much clearer, I lay awake every night thinking what kind of Mom I've been to my 2 boys. I feel like such a LOSER!!!! Do any of u have the same guilty feelings? So anyway today is the day, I'm going to flush the rest I have left so I can start on the road to recovery and my boys will have me back 100%! Thanks to everyone for all there wonderful advice........Teri :)

keep up the good work
sending prayers,hugs and support,
