Truer words were never spoken.

It is very easy to slip back to old ways. When I was in the hospital you couldn't pry the self administering morphine button outta my hand (it was joke with everyone that saw me). Even though I used it less the the doctors encouraged me to, I missed it when they took it away. Today I found myself instructing the lab technician taking my bloodwork. I hate to tell you what I experienced with interferon injections (other than the sides).

It is so easy to fall back on old ways that one must always be careful.

Thanks Toosh, it is always nice to know that people here are honest about what is going on in thier lives. Fought addictions for 28 years and finally [with a little help of the great 12step prog] been freed of the obsession to use.

I too was on Methadone for approximately five years and the detox from that was not something that I would ever wish to endure again. That and benzo's were about two months in course to feel even half way decent again. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

God bless you, and remember " Just for today"

Respectfully:

William
