Well figured I would do an update in this thread since it has been a while now.

Life is good right now overall when it comes to my opiate addiction treatment. My pain levels continue to be no higher than a 3 at most, and most days not even a 3. The pain management I get from methadone has been so good that I got back into jogging every morning before I go to the clinic. That is with a 300 dollar special fitted brace, but hey money well spent and I can’t tell you how much being able to actually work out has made me feel. I like how I look, my mind and spirit are free and clear and overall I just feel good about myself not just mentally but physically as well and I have not felt that in a while and hey my gf is not complaing either. and this have given me something to do with my mom who does 5ks all the time and that is my goal by next summer to be able to run a 5k with my mom with my knee I think that is a great goal. And man I didn’t believe my mom when she said running hurts your shoulders if you have a bad posture running but boy she was right.

I am coming up on 7 months with methadone and the clinic, and I think I am real close to getting take homes. My counselor has mentioned it a couple times and officially the 22nd will be 7 months which means we have to update my file. I hope that is when he will put in a request for me to start getting weekend or at least Sunday take homes. At first I asked myself if I am ready to get them and I was iffy but now I know I am ready for them and have no plans on doing anything stupid with them. I guess some problems they have is people will skip a dose on Saturday or only take half than on Sunday they will double up there dose to get high or something like that. I just want take homes so I don’t have to keep paying so much money for gas each week. I wouldn’t even care if I had them if the clinic was closer honestly. I don’t mind going to the clinic it gives me something to do when I am not in class or at work and down time is my worst enemy so this helps with that a lot. And I will stop and talk with my counselor or some of the guys and girls I have been getting to know in group or the security guard I always talk to about sports. Overall I don’t want to be one of those people who get so caught up in getting take homes that they complain about it all the time in line, the waiting room or group and boy we have those people.

Anyways thanks for listening !!!!!!!!!
