I agree! Good job for seeking the help you need. Best wishes!  

i dont know you and never been down this road but im proud of you!! i know some ppl that is pregnant and just wont stop! one is my sister  ur gonna be a great momma  keep up the good work and u and ur baby will be in my thoughts..

my cousin was on suboxin, she was switched to subutex when she found out she was pregnant, her dr said it was safer. when her baby was born she didnt show withdrawal signs until the second day and then she went to the special care nursery. she was on morphine for about a month, which was when they finally got her dosage down to nothing and she was able to go home. it was obviously scary and stressful but in the end she ended up being okay, got through it and is completely fine now.

I know that meth and cocaine are a lot more serious then what loraltabs would even be considered. But here's what happened to me, I was taking them everyday, I started in the beginning because of a simple headache, it gave me a high. I enjoyed the high I got a little too much :/. So then when the half of one wasn't enough I began taking a whole one, then it wasn't enough, and I got up to taking 4-6 sometimes more a day. Depending on how many I could buy. I wasn't on any prescription or anything for it, I only truly liked the high I got from it. Eventually I'd been taking them long enough that I hit the addiction range  . I was very addicted and would have terrible withdraws if I didn't have them in my system everyday. It made it even worse when I had my car wreck in April of last year because tabs were what they gave me, so I had a free high right there in my house without having to buy them. Then by the time June came I slowly began thinking maybe I should possibly think about lowering what I took, or maybe one day qutting because they were ruining who I was. I found out July a month after this thought that I pushed aside came into mind away, that I was expecting. I was super excited, and from that moment I vowed to NEVER pop another pill that was not prescribed to me again. I quit cold turkey and I don't think it was smart. I feel great now a lot more then what I did when I first quit. You are doing what is best for you and I commend you for that! At least you want to quit  , and that should make you feel good about yourself!!! So don't get discouraged because you CAN do it!! I have been clean of them for about 7 months, and I am so glad that I did quit  !!

I should have tried to word differently. When I said I wish you has more willpower, I didn't mean that you don't have any. I had a test of my own today when someone's handed me a cigarette and I gave it back as bad as I wanted it, I quit smoking December 5th. I hope that by the end of your pregnancy you will need no interventions like methadone and that you never look back. It's hard, the cravings still come for me, but you'll get strong enough.

I don't have any advice but I wanted to say I'm sure you are in good hands and try to relax and just work on getting healthy. I'm sure it can't be easy and it's incredible that you sought out help and are working so hard to get clean. Oh, and I'm not too far away from you - I'm in Hagerstown. I don't see too many people from our area on here!

But she dosnt *has* as much willpower as you...  

Ok so humor me,
I've had a problem with alcohol, like the large 1140ml bottle of Jäger a day kind of *problem* I spent at least 50.00 a day on alcohol.
I used to shake if I didn't have another full bottle for the next day.
And now I'm a bartender.  
I spend all day with bottles of liquor.
And haven't had a drink since I started.
Oh, and I have no cravings for alcohol.

willpower to not want a cigarette... because I can't pour liquor all day and not care to sneek a shot, so u should be able to do the same   "

How would that make you feel if someone felt they were better than you if you needed intervention or help getting off drugs?


How's this? I have never been a drug addict or an alcoholic. Does that make me better than you? No.

ood luck with ur recovery im glad that u are getting what help you need some ppl may not see that how u are doing it is the "right way" or how they think you should do it but you are under good care and its a great thing that you are doing i hope that everything goes well for you and your baby  

Thank you so much!!

It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside knowing they might wake up with a head ache, hating life, and their only friend is the gross ass toilet they are hugging, holding on to and or throwing up in  

Lol I am kinda awesome   haha, recovery is recovery,   no1s perfect, or safe from their *poison* and I don't know what the future has in store for my sobriety. But some nights I realize, I'm sober and it just feels nice... to be normal... and I have extra money that would have gone straight up my nose at another time lol

I believe in u... and I'm here for u...
