Im a mother of 4,I started into treatment 5 years ago this july. 2 of my babies were born with me being on this treatment. I really need all the support I can get right now. You see about 2 months ago I loss my 3 month old baby boy to SIDS.and the only thing right now keeping me going is my 3 other children. I know this sounds bad but I have thought about going back to useing,I would be lieing if I said any different.But,I dont want too!! I do want & need all the help & support that I can grt right now.From were im from ,They think that Methadone is the devil,they have even tried to have the clinic shut down. If that happened I dont know what I would do.The doctor around here are even this way,If ur on treatment they dont want to even see u for a simple cold.And,Right I need some cousling or something , & I can't even get that without them treating me awful. I did have my Husband,but he has had to leave & go out of town to work,so he's about 8 hours away now.And,Yes he calls & comes in on the weekends but its only for a day or maybe 2. When he does call it only for a very few minutes, thats because he is the forman he's over that whole job & a few more,so that takes up most of his time & then when he gets done at work he is just so tired & I know it's not his fault & he does want it this way either.But,It's still just so very hard on me. I'm here all day by my self,well with my 3 year old & then in the evenings my 7&10 year old so I Guess Im not really alone,but to have an adult to talk to about the kinda things I need to talk about.Thank you all for hearing what I had to say.Staying Strong!!

I have seven herniated discs in my back and cervical cancer and have been on pain killers daily for over four years. I was abusing them because they didn't seem to help the pain anymore. I took more and more until I ran out early every month and would end up sick or calling my doctor and asking for early refills. I tried to take them as directed, but most of the time, I just couldn't control myself. I checked myself into a methadone clinic 34 days ago and have been in treatment since. I am doing very well there and am very proud of myself. I have even had a bad accident since checking into rehab and was allowed painkillers for medical attention and refused them. I am awaiting surgery now on my back from that accident. I have asked my doctors to give me nothing but methadone for the pain after surgery seeing that I have made it this whole first week with only that and prednisone in my system. I have never felt better in my life!
