I am on methadone and finding it really hard to handle the side effects. My emotions are everywhere! I have zero libido. I am so lethargic all the time. I didnt think it would be this hard - I thought being on meth was the sign that it was all over and i could finally have a normal life again. I feel scared about the responsibility and stress that I now have to face that heroin protected me from for 7 years...
No-one will give me a job due to my criminal record - I have been for hundreds of interviews and it all seems like pointless effort sometimes.
Please say someone else in the world is finding it this hard??
Your not alone bro. I'm a 5 time convicted felon. Everyone does a back ground check these days. Even some fast food joints. Where are you at? I'm in New Jersey. My plan is to get my CDL license (commercial drivers license). There are a million jobs out there everywhere. There just looking for drivers. Some may do a back ground check but, there are many more out there. The pay is not bad either for someone with no skills. I drove a fork lift most of my life. Warehouse work. What kind of skills do you have? How about clean time? Are you clean? Today is my first day on suboxone. I been on it before but, I lowered my dose lower and lower and was not ready. As soon as the craving kicked in I was finished. I think i'm going to be a lifer on this stuff this time. I have no will power. The dope is everywhere here and only $8.00 a bag. Good luck to you. These boards are great. Remember me Robbie and Bryan and subman. Hope everyone is ok.
I see you are on meth. Have you heard of suboxone? Check out these boards for it. It beats meth.
Methadone makes me lethargic sometimes. I used to read alot but now, all of my books have burn marks in them 'cause I nod out after a couple of pages. I've also lost a few jobs because I was honest and told my employer,s that I was on "done." After that, every mistake I made was blamed on methadone and I swear they thought I was going to steal from them or something. So, there are problems but look at the upside, You're not kissing a dealer's butt everyday, and u can hold a job down, when u find it. Life will get better. It has for me, although I still whine alot. peace, Shirley
Just keep trying on the job search. It took me months as a college grad out of the Army to find a job. This might help. (For the humor of it anyway.)
Dear Hiring Manager
Thank you for you letter of August 15. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me a position in your company at this time. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite your company's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore I will assume the position in your company on September 4th. I look forward to seeing you then. Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
