Milestone reached on Sobo Opioids: 79 days This is the first time in 12 years i have been sober this long. I have always been a addict it started with food and self harm when i was in middle school. Then it turned to smoking-drinking-drugs. It is still hard to believe that i have wasted so much of my life. I feel like a newborn. I have missed my whole 20s. I dont know who i am anymore. When i look in the mirror i dont even recognize myself. After battling trying to get clean cold turkey at home for three years i finally accepted i needed help. I decided on methadone. I started on may 19 and was starting my first day sober may 24. I didnt come to mess around i was so ready to be done. I have been at the same dose for over 1 month. Finally today i had to go up 5mg due to dose starting to wear off. I was honestly hoping to talk to them about coming back down but they said i needed on it one to two years first
