Hello, I guess ill start first! My name is Ann and i live in Washington State. I have a 7yr old daughter and a 14 yr old son. They are my life! And the main reason that i got on Methadone!! I was very,very badly into vicoden, if i didnt have at least 20-25 a day i would be horribly sick! God even sayin that makes me sick! Anyways, it all started with my thumb alsmost getting cut off and i cut 2nerves and 2tendons! From there it was 3 surgerys later and lotsa physical therapy, and LOTS of percs and hydros and then a year later and of course the Doc said no more! And then i was goin to Dr. to Dr. (ya know how that is) and then 3 years go by and realise what a complete looser i was being, and finnaly heard about the Methadone Clinic from a friend and here i am now totally free of pills! Thank god is all i can say about that! Ya know i was always a mom to my kids etc...but you can only hide it so damn long,ya know! And i was at the point of that i wasnt even getting loaded off the little basterds, i had to have them to "be Normal" Ughhh it really does make me sick to even talk about it, but i did and there it is. Im sure there is more to say that i forgot, and if i remember ill just pop on back in ! All i can honestly say is "I do not know where i would be today without the help of Methadone!! |

Welcome ammerie25 and thank you for sharing your past as well as one of the most important part of your life with us, your children. I believe what many folks may not realise is that when a parent gets on methadone it not only benifits the parent struggling with drug abuse greatly but greatly improves the lives of the children with opportunities they most likely would have never had.

Thank You Dave, it really is true,what you said. My son is 14 so he is really scared of any kind of pills, which is all because he knew what i went thru when i was taking them. Im really open with him, and i think that it is good to be open and honest with your kids. Especially and only if you know they are old enough and mature enough to know what your talking about. And can understand. Ya know i didnt really know how much it effected him UNTIL i got help with the methadone. When i was driving him to school one day i was talking to him about , ya know, life in general, and i told how much i want him to succeed and be better than me when he grows up, and that my only wish in the world is to have him never be involved in pills and drugs etc... And he told me how proud of me he was. And he thanked me for getting help and he has seen how different/better things are now. And i started balling crieng. Yup, thats when it hit me how darn happy i was to have found out about the clinic. Ok well now im rambling |
