Hi All,
On my last week of methadone, today I will have 3mls until next wednesday.
3mls, sound pathetic but I suppose its in the mind.
I cant remember if I said in my last post, I saw my drugs worker and asked about a pill detox and she said if you really wanna do this we can have you off in 3 weeks, so I had 8mls for a week, 5mls the next week now its 3mls.
Ive had a bug that been going round my sons school and everyone else in the family had it for 24hrs and its just stayed on me, probably because my immune systems not as strong as it used to be.
Other than that I feel fine, very tired, but that may be because of the little man keeping me up!
I really encourage anyone who wants to reduce to do it as slowly as I have. I've had 3 kids running around, school and nursery runs, shopping, cooking, cleaning, all the normal household things to do and I have managed. There have been ups and downs. But ones I had got using H out of my mind and cut off people I used to associate with doing it too, I was able to concentrate on getting off the meth.
I hope everyones doing good..there really is a light at the end of the tunnel for everyone..you just have to keep looking xx
thats awesome, cant help but feel jealouse im still at 145 milligrams, and dont feel i will ever be at 3 --but im so very happy for you--it shows it can be done what an awesome feeling of freedom you must have
Just to say Kymbo well done...3mls must be just a drop on the tongue..but you have got there....im on 70ml at the mo.but due to circumstances not really under my control i may have to come off quickly...how long did it take ya to get down that far???Anyhow well done and all the best for the future.....Davey
On you go Kymbo, 3mil... well proud of you!! take it easy, Kev
Kymmmie Kymbo,
Good for you girlie................get on with your bad self.......hope ya feel better too........them litle buggers bring home the bug don't they? We got it over here too on this side of the pond.
Really proud of ya, Kymbo.

GREAT JOB!. You know it's been said only 4% detox and stay off methadone. I've been off over 1.5 years now. YES the best way to do it slowly however i did not do it slowly or totally get off before i stoped going i was god awful sick none the bettter for it.
YES IT CAN BE DONE but, there are times when it's more helpful to stay on. PERSONALLY i'ld like more time on if i could have aforded it.

OK Kym, time to start getting excited!!!! The rest of your life starts here! You're so close to freedom you can taste it.
I can't really remember the last meth detox I did, coz it was so long ago, but I do remember with the subutex, the lower I got, the more I felt it, and I'm sure that wasn't in my head. 3mls ain't much, but neither is 0.4mg of subs, and I seriously considered snapping those tiny little pills in half and stringing it out for another week. But in the end I thought that I already felt like s***, so I may as well bite the bullet and get it over with. And I felt not to clever for about a week, and the insomnia went on a bit longer, but these days the only thing that keeps me awake at night is my little girl, and on those mornings when her dad has her, I sleep like the dead...
The end is in sight. You grab it with both hands and make it yours!
love

Congratulations kymbo...and Diff your post really moved me (as usual!)...and Amity don't be beating yourself up...you're on a programme and you're doing great...I'm in the "meth and subbies are medication" camp...you do what you gotta do to get clean...
You're all amazing...I haven't been there but I'm watching someone fail over and over...I know it's far from easy...and with all the stigma there is out there (proved by what our poor Davey is going through at the moment) I jsut want you all to know how much I respect you. And I don't use that word lightly.

Kymbo,
YO!
YO!
Thanks for all your encouragement.
Can't wait, this wed will be my last bit of meth I take.
Used to go about with this girl who I have known for years, she introduced me to H and also it was her I relapsed with 3 years later..I told her I was staying away as I was detoxing she got a bit funny..I told you in a previous post.
Anyhow said texted me yday saying..I dunno what your problem is, why are you ignoring my calls? I thought we went way back.
Why doesn't she understand shes bad for me? Really pissed about that

Kymbo, people who are in active addiction hate to see anybody getting clean coz it makes them feel worse about their own crappy lives. When I got clean, I ditched every last one of those sorry mf's. I don't regret it, coz they ain't true friends. A true friend would be happy for you, and that's the long and the short of it. Stay away from her.
