] Due to circumstances beyond my control-( I went on a work road trip) and packed 2 bottles in a bag that I didn't bring)
Very stupid move- but once you get over the panic, and realize that there is nothing you can do (legally)- you have to just go with the flow best you can- Next morning - (6 am- 24 hours after I last drank- I panicked when I realized that I left my bottles home- I was in Philly ,so I thought about driving the 2 plus hours back to get them- but I would've lost my job when they tracked my actions) *next day> 6AM- 48 hours after my last drink- I think because Ive been on methadone for such a long time enough has built up in my body (everyone is different)- where I still felt OK- not great but far from withdrawal. I went thru the day and as long as I put it out of my mind I was still OK- Now> just knowing that I had 5 take homes waiting for me at home helped- also I wouldn't be missing a day that I had to show up and drink at the klinic- that would've been a problem with those people* * * Day 3= 12 midnight - - I left Philly to begin the drive up North. about 60 hours had passed since I last drank- Now I wasn't feeling too well, but STILL not in full w/d- - but the stomach, nervous system , and constant yawning told me that it wouldn't be too long. The drive up the TRPKE was rough , eyes tearing and lotta rest stops- , but I pulled into home at around 2 am or so- close to 62 hours after my last drink. I then drank 1 and a half of my TH,s- remember at this point I had extras from not taking them- So when it finally hit me , I felt like it was like the 1st time I ever drank. Relief- - plus- So if anyone really wants to go this way of stopping to get on subs , it can be done - (if you want to switch to suboxone) it seems with only a little discomfort'- - like I said , everyone different, maybe because I have been on so long it helped- I dont know- - I do know that I will NEVER make the same mistake Dont read this wrong I dont recommend that if your thinking of switching meds, you go about it this way- I'm just saying in some cases it can be done- but follow a doctors suggestion not mine- - To be honest , I do have a Valium script, which I am supposed to take as needed for panic like attacks- I took 1*10mg pill every night- I guess it helped, but its not something I really noticed Helluva trip- jack BTW- Where are my Philly Friends - I might need some help on different neighborhoods, I'm thinking that I might need to move pretty soon. Yeah,from 1 city to another. However, I have to make sure that this place I'm working is really going to start a "satellite" service to better service S.jersey and the Philly area- more $$, and I can use the change- Also I need info on a few klinics in the area. I would need to transfer my 6 take homes- -Ill be damned if I have to start all over again- but most klinics simply call the one you.ve been on, and get all the records faxed, and it isn't a problem- but there are always a few that make it difficult. So any Philly pholks that can help out- its< tceffo07@yahoo.com> (clicking on on below doesnt work out you have to type it in to the send part of your e-mail service- )) - Private help . rather than use the board for personal sh-t ya know? thanks jack JEEEz, I must have edited this 11 times- - This post has been edited by jackofhartzz on April 28, 2012, 7:41 AM -------------------- "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over." — Hunter S.

HI S
Yeah this company is looking for 1 of thier employees to make the move to Philly. They are going to open a shop down there to better service the south Jersey area and Philadelphia. I think maybe its time I get out of NYC and that klinic scene over there on 125th st. Its been a long time, but I wouldn't mind the change.- - With all thats going on- my kid has shown (at least for the time being) that he CAN be responsible and maybe, just maybe he can move beyond this drinking thing. I don't know- - He has stopped talking about the geographical change, and has thought very rationally about keeping his job, and staying here to help his grandmother more than he has been. - Kind of making me proud that he is showing signs of wisdom- But> we both know to be careful with talk coming from people with certain tendencies. But so far so good- AS for a move to Philly , transferring klinics wont be hard- -finding one that will transfer my earned 13 -2 times a month might be. Ill have to ck it out- along with how close it would be..etc... I dont know- from Pastrami to Cheesesteaks?? Whadda think- muchlove * * * * * * jack Anyway , its something to think about. Ill be in touch This post has been edited by jackofhartzz on April 29, 2012, 7:32 AM -------------------- "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over." — Hunter S.

Dunno, Jack...you're a New Yorker...is a move even possible? Lol ;-)
Good about the kid...you don't have to take him at his word, take him at his actions...they speak louder and all that. Big decisions on the horizons...you'll know what to do. Maybe it is time... -------------------- You will not change what you are willing to tolerate. | ||
