We congratulate you on your new baby boy and are truly happy your life has changed for the better. I first started taking methadone about two years ago. I am always looking for information or literature regarding methadone. At first, it was frustrating as I realized how ignorant and misinformed people are. But gradually I have earned respect because of my actions as well as my enthusiastic attempts at informing by sharing knowledge.
Addiction is an incurable disease that can be treated with methadone, combined with counseling.
Personally, I am proud of my achievements. I have a newfound respect and love for myself and others, and I never could have done it without methadone. I've tried kicking my habit cold turkey, and I felt terrible and eventually relapsed. I honestly don't think I ever could have made the lifestyle change without methadone. It is such a shame that there are people out there who are misinformed and ignorant about methadone.
