I'd like to wish all the moms out there a very Happy Mothers Day! While our kids can drive us to distraction we love them anyway with every fiber of our being. So.....
Enjoy a relaxing day, if you can, and remember it's all worth it!

Happy Mother's Day Granny! Enjoy your day.
Granny, this is Sobee. I am 8 days clean and on methadone at this point. And still very happy with my decision.
I know you have been doing this treatment for a long time and would love to ask you some things. Is there a certain post to go to, or way I could contact you to run some questions by you ? It's certainly fine with me for it to be a public forum (that might help other people reading). That is, if it's ok with you ?
I will be watching here for your reply. Thank you so much !
For anyone one else reading, I have just started the methadone treatment. I had been using, usually, a gram of H a day for the last year. I ran out of $$, family, friends, stability, LIFE. I finally came clean to my brother and we got into a clinic immediately. That was just a week and 1/2 ago, and I am a renewed person. I wake up everyday with that huge, unbearable weight taken off of me. Knowing I am doing the right thing is a priceless feeling. Nothing of my past use compares to the way I feel now, getting off of H.

Congratulations on starting your recovery. You seem very enthusiastic and ready to start living your life again. Good Luck. You can do this, and you obviously have a brother who cares.
Hi Sobee,
Life happens so I am sorry I am a little late responding to you, plus I tend to be more on the methadone board.
I am more than willing to answer any questions you may have but I think its good to do it on the board so others may benefit from it.
I am so glad you are feeling better and are happier. I am guessing you found a clinic you are happy with? What state are you in, if you don't mind my asking. I got nothing to hide so I am open on where I live, my age, etc.
It's been so long for me but I still do remember how good I felt to be free from my addiction!!! I didn't even mind having to go to the clinic every single day....within about 10 months I was together enough to push myself go back to work...I worked at my last job for 15 years before I quit, then I retired.
I had been home for about 2 years when I wound up with legal guardianship of my 2 oldest grandkids, who were 14 at the time. (Not my idea of retirement but it was OK and I'd never let anyone else take them) They just turned 18 last week and are almost thru with 11th grade...4 more days!!! College ahead for one.....
I have good and bad days...who doesn't, but I haven't done ANY heroin or illegal drugs since my first day and have been with the same clinic since January of 1994. It was a choice I made. I NEVER wanted to go back to the depths of despair I felt at the end of my addiction. I too, lost everything, house etc, and nearly myself to suicide because of my heroin addiction. But that is in my past because of methadone.
Keep up the good work!
