Addicted

I've written about this before. Getting off meds SUCKS. But I am now two nights without Methadone. That's a huge victory for me. I've been on Methadone since my arrival here at Walter Reed eight months ago. My first attempts were failures because the night sweats and chills were overwhelming, almost as much as the dark moods that came over me. So I took it slow, using a pill splitter and getting down to such a low dose that when it came time to quit it wasn't so jarring to my system.

One med down, only seven more to go.
