• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

if anyone here is currently off of methadone or on the program please respond. i've been off of methadone for just over 2 months and i have been sober for 33 days off of everything. i am doing much better then i was, but my body is still sick. i dont really have pain in my bones anymore but i'm still not really eating much and the depresion is getting to me at times. i'm miles away from where i was months ago, but it is a slow process. i still have a long ways to go mentally and physically.

I would never call Methodone a monster, People will diagree with me but, I call it something that keeps all " HIGH " away from you! If you tried to do anything again, pills, drinking, ect. It is a blocker from that High.
That's what it did for me. I only used ( not only ) pain meds from my doctor but, I abused them so bad that for 2 years I didn't have a life!
That's when the meds brought out my depression. I needed a little help from depression meds but, I'm ok!!! I have been off pain meds for going on 3 years! I would tell anyone to go that way if they couldn't go " cold turkey"
That's my opionion!!
Praise to you and yours for your problem was also your famililes problem.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
