i got this from the methadone site...i liked it and maybe it will make someone elses day here down the road sometime...not sure if ive seen it here...if so...well...heres another copy...
Liqued handcuffs
They call it liquid handcuffs,
they say I'll be it's slave
they tell me it might even
put me in an early grave.
'Methadone is evil'-
they say it rots your bones-
to pay your clinic fees
you'll have to take out loans
they say that all my feelings
will be numb as numb can be
the normal ups and downs of life
won't register with me
they say I'll stand in line
with the dealer and the junkie
and on my back I'll carry
a mean methadone monkey-
they really do confuse me
I know they can't be right-
'cause I'm going home to sleep
in my warm, snug house tonight
it's filled with love & laughter
my loved ones by my side...
and I finally am able
to be wife, mother and guide
to trust in me, they're able
they know that I'll be there
of cravings and of misery
I no longer am aware.
I no longer am so sad
so depressed & blue each day
I used to feel that anything
would beat living life that way
but now I feel a happiness
and a joy I can extoll
my mind, which didn't function right
has finally been made whole
so please, before you tell me
that methadone's so bad-
just ask my family how they feel
they've gone from sad to glad
and isn't getting better
what recovery's all about?
it's not 'my way' or 'your way'
but how it all comes out....

Hi Con-
I see you,ve found some of Zeniths writings. I go on sometimes and find some of their information very helpful
I use that site for all kinds of info-(under different name) -
-Clinic policies(different states, or different countries- different rules)- -they,re also State laws, and Federal laws which are different
Those people for the most part are hard core addicts. All in various stages of recovery
.- Many though arent addicts at all , but they are counselors, doctors , nurses > so you can get a good variety of advise and support.
Anyway> Hope things are going a little better this week-end
Keep in touch **
