Hi, I just heard of this site yesterday. So, to make long into short, I've been struggling with addiction most of my adult life. (or atleast as long as I can remember - the last 20 years.) It started when I was 19, with heroin, clean most of 20's then alcohol at 31, (I now have cirrhsis, pancreatitis, hepatitis). Back to oxy's and heoin at 36. Now I've been on methadone since December, I love the feeling of not using (street drugs) but the mental part of this all really screws with my head. I know I'm not clean, but I feel as though I am because methadone is legit. Does anyone else struggle with this? I must admit that I have absolutely NO cravings/urges to get high since I started. How long do most people stay on this, and does anyone have any idea how it is affecting my liver? Thank you.
