Hey there, I posted before about my experiance getting of vicodin/norcos/tylenol #3. And geting into a rehab program (I'm on methadone) However me and my boyfriend are moving to arizona in december, and I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO A CLINIC 1 TIME A WEEK, WORRY ABOUT SPILLING MY MEDS, AND WASTE 3 HOURS OF ONE DAY EVERY WEEK

I start a 21 day detox october 11th, WHICH is my 18th birthday. Yes, I am 17.

I really think this is THE Best birthday present I could ever give myself/anyone could give to me, Is to be COMPLETELY drug-free.

I think that's all, Have a good day everyone.

I asked my councelor at the clinic who I have to talk for for an hour & A half each week, About weaning down before detoxing, And she said it is not a safe thing to do on my own, And would be pointless because their detox is a higher MG than I am taking.

I've already BEEN addcited to painkillers - And I had detoxed from them, I AM CLEAN from painpills. And will be detoxing from methadone in less than a month. Wihch, Will be easy.

I'm not stupid - Which is why I got off vicodin, ON MY OWN! I had no help from anyone, No one even told/mentioned to me, to do it, I decided to do it for my FUTURE!

Because, I have 2 jobs, Start college right when me and my fiance (Which was my boyfriend when I posted this, Although he proposed and suprised me [:I] I couldn't be happier!) When we move to arizona, And I want to be completely clean - I don't want to have to go get a medication weekly!
