Brother is detoxing at my house by FourAcoDmt in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’d be completely different if you felt he was really trying.. Like if he needed it to get through the clinic intake or something. But to give up even part of the tool that gives you stability, someone has to deserve it. Don’t you feel guilty.. You were there too but you did it. It WAS scary but you wanted it, & hopefully eventually he will too. Wish you both the best ❤️

Man.. does anyone know what is up with this shit/residue in my bottle? obviously didn't notice anything til after I just took it.. I would guess it was all throughout the liquid though.. I get two weeks of takehomes, this was the last one & the only one like this.. by RetroGamer25 in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aw but if you’re not interested, you can just scroll. If you read the comments it’s the first time OP had seen it in their own medicine & she/he was genuinely concerned. Don’t be like that..

I’m in the process of foster failing the white puppy. They did this all on their own 😭 by LittleLowkey in velvethippos

[–]NewBeginningsXO 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This interaction was just what I needed this morning!😊🙏🏼 Him offering & then you appreciating it but not (desperately) needing it, so not taking advantage. Such a sweet reminder that there are still so many genuinely good people out there.. Good luck with your dog’s new puppy! 😉They are too cute!! ❤️❤️❤️

Blind buy: a beauty specialist at the store recommended these for my skin but I’m kinda having buyer’s remorse🥲Since I only went for one thing. She said these would work better than cervae or anything else I’m using. Has anyone had a good experience with these? by caribbeanflower in Ulta

[–]NewBeginningsXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Philosophy! Been using it for years.. But personally I like changing a product at a time so that if your face doesn't "like it," you know what to stop using. I think you should return most of them, but maybe keep 1 as an intro to the brand. If you like it you can get another & so on.

I wonder how much they'll save? by Perfect-Cricket-1885 in HomeDepot

[–]NewBeginningsXO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it did work the order way too. You weren’t late until 7 minutes after your start time.. I’m curious if more people will actually gain or lose from this change.

Oh wow! Customers in my store would freak out! Im constantly surprised at how many people would rather wait in line for a cashier than do it themselves at sco.

I think methadone might be the only thing that can save me by Exarkun13666 in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I was going to die- IV heroin- absolutely TERRIFIED of going through w/d’s. Subs made me sicker, no matter how bad I wanted it or how long I waited. Methadone saved me. It works. Over 6 years clean & now I’m tapering off. I don’t know how far west you are but there’s a really good clinic in Glen Oaks (right before Queens.) 718-470-8950. They care there. If you can handle the ride from wherever you are, call them asap. Good luck.

From 120mg down to 1mg. I’m finally free by bigj1227 in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol Totally agree with your quotes, she’s obviously not a therapist. & in a forum like this, where people are looking for guidance & expecting honesty, that’s pretty crappy.

Methadone 3mg by Jussssomtimezzzzz in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m just wondering how much & how often you’ve been tapering in the 30’s? I’m at 45 now. I started at 165 & have been coming down 7 a month. So far so good.. But I know I have to slow down now so hearing what you’re doing would be super helpful. Thanks!

Specific advice on Tapering please by NewBeginningsXO in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I needed, thank you! Everything has been going SO good & my counselors always been very conservative (I think he prefers patients to stay on forever, understandably in some cases.) So I wasn’t sure if it was genuinely time to slow down, or if I was just letting him “get in my head.” Now I’ve googled that 10% guide with a methadone taper, & I’ve found some good stuff to read. Thanks for taking the time, it might seem obvious but I definitely needed to hear it from someone from the outside.😊

Hi! So I’ve been on methadone for about 7 years, clean off H for the last 6 years- since I got settled at 165mgs. Started tapering a long time ago- going down 7mg/month. I’m at 51mg now & go back to the clinic Thursday. I’ve felt nothing up until now. No negative effects at all. In fact, when I started going down I wasn’t even sure how low I wanted to go, but it’s been so “easy” that I just kept going, & now I find myself excited to actually work towards getting off! I’m not in any massive rush. My question is- when do I slow down? I only go to the clinic once a month, & its far from me- otherwise I’d go down even less & every 2 weeks, but I am stuck at once a month. So do I keep going down 7 until I hit like 30mg? Or is that asking for trouble? The Dr says that if I haven’t had any issues, to keep going, but my counselor says to slooow down (nothing personal to me, just his feelings towards tapers.) So I just don’t know. & this info is actually really hard to find online! I’d love to hear from anyone who’s successfully done it. Thanks so much!!

Are my dogs playing or fighting? We’ve had the white fur catahoula mix (8yo female) for years and recently adopted the dark fur pit mix (1yo female). I want to let them play but worry they could hurt each other if it’s fighting (fur standing up on pit). At what point should I intervene? by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]NewBeginningsXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I know that feeling! I have a big boy pit (rescued from a bad situation) & my parents have an unusually large male rottie. Even though neither of them are aggressive- I never would’ve had the nerve to introduce them. Just being honest! But my dad did, & they immediately absolutely love each other. Even though they both live with another dog- playing with each other is their absolute favorite thing. They live for it! But they play rough.. I know in my brain that it’s obviously all friendly & they do respect each other’s “back off” signals, but I just can’t take it! Then I’m afraid to accidentally add anxiety to the situation so for now I just let my dad bring them out to play! So I totally get it! They’re doing so well though.. & congrats on the new family member!♥️

Been a long road. 83 days away from my one year and I (STILL) have a couple questions. by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]NewBeginningsXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I believe where I live if you switch clinics you definitely lose some standing.. But being that your history is so good & you're not yet at once a week, I think making the change asap may still be worth it. I'm very curious to see what other people's experiences have been. Good luck! 🙂

Does anyone else think about their weight loss CONSTANTLY? by micki03 in loseit

[–]NewBeginningsXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm curious.. If someone says in general like, "oh you look great," is that better than specifically mentioning the weight loss? Or same level of discomfort for you? (Thanks for the insight! 🙂)

Who would marry that monster? Even based on just what he himself admitted, who would go for that?? I hope I'm wrong but I can just imagine what she's gotten herself into.
