I may be off topic here but I feel like venting so here I go .>>
Madonna > an elderly or matronly woman -
As some of you guys know > my Madonna >Sandy( certainly not to be confused with the pop star or the Virgin Mary)
& I have been in touch regularly, so when she asked when I would be leaving NJ to come UpState NY for Thanksgiving I wasn't surprised. However, the deal is - I really cant leave until Thanksgiving morning.
Then the problem is > I pick my 6 take home bottles from the clinic on Friday , the day after Thanksgiving.
This Monday ,I ll try to juggle my pick up dates around with my counselor , hopefully it wont be a problem. This is where being on methadone sometimes interferes with your normal life & it is very annoying. I know it is a powerful treatment drug, and its strictly regulated but when a person has been in treatment a long time ,showing positive results and has not strayed for ages, it shouldn't even be an issue with getting a few extra bottles
The last time something like this happened- - I had to get "guest medicated" in Boston. I also have gotten guest medicated in Albany a long time ago
If addicts stop selling their take homes and stop trying to use heroin over their dose maybe this treatment would be looked at differently. Until then , or until the day I get serious about getting off- this is the deal

BTW-I say matronly woman as a compliment- older,wiser, and a certain beauty that comes with age- - that all the young lookers hope they have at 50 plus.
Like you say jack the trouble is that some people sell it and lots and lots of people use on top. And that will always be.

Yeah Jack, it's a pain in the a***, eh? They don'e give you any trust, even when you show you are improving so much...
Hope you get it solved with least amount of stress possible. Take acre, Kev

Jack, I am glad you will get a chance to spend the holiday with Sandy. How is she doing with herself? You know what I mean, like the depression and female stuff? Has she been feeling any better? You seem pretty okay with the break-up or separation these days...no?
Does your mom join you? What about your wayward son =) ?
Just being nosy...I care, but it seems like nosiness, so I thought I'd call it like it is.
Peace~M&M

Sorry for straying a wee bitty here but a girl i know who is doing great i might add,college course etc and is starting to come down 5ml a fortnight to do a sub detox after xmas went into her local chemist and while she was waiting was getting some toiletries.testing a spray she sprayed it on her wrist as everyone i know does to make sure it was the one for her etc,well the cow of a pharmacist told her if she ever did that again she would stop her prescription.The girl was mortified and almost in tears,so she went to the boss of the chain of pharmacies and told him what happened and the chemist was sacked as she was seemingly not the 1st person she had been ott with.What the f*** made her think she had the power in the 1st place to stop anyones script?Anyway ,just a wee story from my part of the world,glad it wasn,t me it happened to as my script if i had one would have got stopped bcoz i would have squeezed her throat till her mouth opened and made the stupid cow drink it..take care all.....ECK...
The clinic here in Boone just started making level one clients come on Sundays. They had always gave take homes for Sunday before but so many people were double dosing and selling thier take-homes that they felt they had to do something. I'm on level 3. It seems like this last 9 months has flown by. The 4 months before that when I was trying to come off methadone seemed like a year. But, like you said, until folks stop abusing priveliges, nothing is going to change.
Jack; agree totally...wish people would not abuse it...makes it very hard for those of us who are using it correctly...i may need to ask for two week take homes if I re-locate; its unnerving to think that due to the abuse; this might not happen...i think its a God Send; has really turned my life around; yet week after week I see people at the clinic abusing, selling etc; right out in front of the door...its unbelievable...just my two cents worth today :)
