Hey Dfx,

Welcome to ODR and congrats on wanting to change your life. It's great you are going to go to your 1st NA meeting. There is a lot of help in meetings and I hope you can reach out to some people and get some support.

I was on methadone and I don't really have one good thing to say about it. I noticed your reasons for getting on it: "i'm really doing it so: A) i won't get sick for now and B) i have something that takes care of the cravings. I know how you feel when you say that but if you think it's hard getting off h you will be surprised when it is time to get off methadone. It is no picnic and it just postpones the inevitable. I would never recommend methadone to anyone but I would say if you already on it do it as short term as you can (as in less then a month).

Glad you found us.
