I used today because of methadone withdrawals. I hate methadone so much. I’m really upset with myself and don’t know what to do. Here we go again with withdrawals

Don’t beat yourself up!! Just get up and start again! You got this!

Have you considered going to a detox facility?

Detox is probably going to be your best bet rather then going on a roller coaster with the Meth..

Methadone withdrawals? Were you tapered off, or are you non compliant at your clinic?I used to use missing my meds as an excuse to use (not saying you are). I am currently working on tapering off, and I make sure I make it everyday. If you are finding yourself struggling you may want to look into detoxing at a facility. I have no opinion on MAT for anyone else but myself, and it is helping save my life at the moment. There will come a time though when support of the program, and thoroughly working steps only will be sufficient. Don't be discouraged over a slip. Use it to help you apply a stronger application of the program, if you're involved.

Don’t let a slip become an excuse to go back. Reflect & forgive yourself. I’ve been tapering for 5 years from methadone. I’m almost there.

I’m sorry. But beating
Yourself up changes nothing. Don’t focus and obsess on what you done did…let’s focus on what you have power over NOW let’s focus on your next steps! How are you feeling? Any ideas? Need a friend? I understand MAT as I was forced to get on it when I got pregnant bcuz I was using, then fell pregnant, so I get it.
