Hello
Everyone!
My
name is Mary and I am 31 and live in Michigan with my husband and our 18 month
old baby boy. I have been clean since October
2016 and on methadone since May of 2016.
I started using in my 20’s and was taking narcotic pain pills to curb my
appetite. (You know, instead of a diet
and exercise I figured that Vicodin would be just as effective-super smart
eh?). I switched from pills to heroin
after about a year and then that was the beginning of the end,
I was able to clean myself with the
help of the most wonderful man in the world that I was lucky enough to marry in
2017 and we had our son a few months later.
After a miscarriage last fall, we are pregnant again and due in November
of this year!
I was using for a few years and will
forever be affected by my consequences.
I absolutely fell in love with heroin and I never wanted to quit. I’ve
lived on the street, in a car, in a shady motel, and I even spent a little
while in a recovery house. I’ve been to
rehab twice but I wasn’t able to quit until I was finally fed up. This blog isn’t really intended for a lot of
traffic, but I felt that I needed to do this for myself so I could start
healing. If you happen to come across
this diary of my ramblings, drop in and say hello!
Hello! My name is Casey. I am in recovery. I am a Paramedic and have worked for a couple different EMS companies and I have worked in an ER at the Southern Illinois Trauma Center in Springfield IL for 8 or 9 years.
ReplyDeleteI am currently on MAT and I have some neurological problems that have come up but I cannot be treated with any of the meds while I am on suboxone. So starting today (2-25-21) I am starting to taper. I am actually terrified.
We have been thinking about Methadone, once off the SUBOXONE. Methadone with control the horrible pain that I am in daily from whatever Neuro disease prosses is going on.
I have been in amd out of treatment, 7 or 8 times total I think. I have stayed at many recovery homes.
I currently live in a recovery home and I am doing better now than I ever thought possible. Except for the health issues.
I love reading your entries. I like to learn about other addicts and their experiences.
I also love to write and have been wanting to do a blog for a very long time. I think this is the perfect time to start. Not only can I tell my story maybe help someone with my experience, strength, and hope, but I think starting at the begining of my suboxone taper would be a great outlet for me and maybe someone else. So how did you get started? What website? How do you promote your blog and increase its visibility? If you want, you could email me if you would like. caseyp3276@gmail.com I would love to talk with you about your experience and your blogging. Thank you!
