I've been to ones that where open on Sundays, yeah. It sucks. Hah. The one I'm at now is closed thankfully.

Youre going to regret selling all that shit trust me. I know people try to justify it by saying its just material things but theyre not worth trading for a few hours of pleasure. I sold an audi A6 with 20k miles on it in 2010. Biggest regret, or at least its way up there w dropping out of uni altho im reenrolled now.. Wish I never sold all my jewelry, cars, traded computers and ipods and clothes. Whatever i posessed i traded and put in my arm. Ugh.

Yeah. It does feel shitty. I always told myself, "Oh I don't need that shit now.. when I get clean, I'll just buy it all back." Ha. I really thought that. So delusional. I was forgetting that it took me over 10 years of slowly saving up money to be able to afford to buy all that shit, and I thought i was gonna somehow get clean, and be able to buy 20 grand worth of shit all over again just like that.
 
Yeah I think we all do some mental gymnastics worth a gold medal at Sochi. I look back at some of my hunting rifles and family heirlooms I've pawned for an eight-ball or a gram of some fire.
Oh well a junkies like a Timex watch, takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Yeah, shit starts to get expensive and before you know it, you're blowing through every cent you have before the week even ends, plus having to hustle to to come up with cash for the remaining few days. Horrible cycle.

When my parents died, I sold the family home. The proceeds ended up in the cooker, every last dime. In the crook of my elbow is my $100,000 "tattoo." That's all I have to show for all of the years my parents worked to pay for that house. While I joke about it now, there was a time when the shame would eat me up. Addiction sucks.
 
^^

Yeah man. I think about all the money I've spent over the years... what I would do if I had it all back. But, you can't live in the past or like you said, it'll eat you up. :\

I'm in the process of saving up to buy another guitar as I sold my favorite Les Paul. That one was a killer. Loved that thing.

Did you have any other family that got pissed at you when you sold your parents house? Like a sister or something?

Mine is closed on Sundays.

Perhaps you could say you went to a particular church with those hours and see if they will let you get a takehome for that day. Or complain about how hard it is to go to church and come to the clinic because your church is on X side of town and the clinic is on Y side of town. I'm a Christian, so I feel bad for advocating lying about that.
 
After 30 days with no dirty drops I'll get Sundays for a take home. Last time I was on the 'done no clinics were open on Sunday there was no suboxone either.
 
I hate going to the methadone clinic and getting stuck behind some asshole with a fucking suitcase for a take home box...and then it takes the nurse 25 minutes to fill the bottles...and after the bottles are filled, the guy is still standing there shooting the shit with the nurse about his kids! Nobody cares!

^ I didn't think about that, I love being able to pickup my doses on Friday for the weekend though.

Yeah weekend take homes are great. I'm eligible for more take homes every 3 months as long as you don't piss dirty. So in 3 months I'll only have to go to the clinic like 3 times a week. Then in another 3 months only once.
 
All our doses are already pre measured Bluehues.

I'm debating on going to a doctor and getting a script instead of going to the clinic for bupe. Or switch to methadone since I've been having cravings.
 
Hahah bluehues i know what you mean. Theyre BSing and the nurse is acting like shes interested its like cmon dude you got your shit now get the fuck outta here. Being on weekly takehomes is such a luxury, going to the clinic everyday is such a waste of gas money, altho sometimea i didnt mind it because it was a reason to get out of bed and dressed back when i was in junkie mode and could lay in bed all da and had no responsibilities.

Damn, that makes sense...that's not the way they did it at the clinic I was on, but I was only ever on one methadone clinic, a few different times though..lol...They measured every dose right then and there!

I never understood why some people take 5 minutes, besides the take homes, it's a mystery...There's some people that are literally up there five minutes! I always just get my dose and leave....some people seem to like the attention they get from medical personnel maybe? So they take every opportunity they get to complain about their issues.... IDK, save that shit for your counselor!...There are people on Suboxone that are in there for an hour with the doctor...how big of an issue could there possibly be with your dose?!

Some people are attention whores I feel bad for the nurse behind the dosing window because she is trapped and has to listen. The security guards keep the lines moving pretty good. During the week they have 2-3 windows going and I'm only there for 5 min at the most. Today only 1 window and it took 20 min plus I got to listen to a bunch of people complain about the wait. We are junkies that makes us impatient but it is our own fault we go there in the first place. It is not the government conspiring with the clinic to make you late for work,not to mention without being on mantinence you would probably lose your job.

Sorry I just needed to vent I'm good now
 
^Yeah, I hate to be negative...I actually like being happy! But lately, people's bullshit is getting on my nerves....I need to get out there and and do more in my free time to keep my mind occupied I guess....

On methadone though, it seemed like the biggest offenders with that shit were the people you knew weren't going to work! People wearing track pants and Adidas flip flops in the middle of winter, bathrobe on..haha..The clinic I was on actually banned pajamas! Then, there's these skanky chicks who have made a career out of popping out kids and collecting money for it...Yep, some real winners at the methadone clinic, but hey..I guess I must be one of them!

A few weeks ago, a guy who had sweat pants on at 10am during a Wednesday asked if he could go ahead of me. I said are you in a hurry? He said oh yea I really am. Now it's obvious this guy literally just got out of bed. I laughed at him as I walked into the dosing room.

It pisses me off to see a pregnant woman on methadone.
 
They banned pajamas at mine too.
Brutus that guy in the sweat pants was in a hurry because he was missing judge Judy. And as much as I don't want to see pregnant woman using drugs it's probably better she is there then out at the dope house.
 
no PJ's at the clinic? come on! ha. I'd have to go before work and pretty sure I just asked this.. but maybe was in the MA dope thread.. but do clinics run all day? or only in the AM? or all depends on what clinic? i wouldnt mind doing an afternoon thing but no way can go to a morning clinic too much of a hassle, esp. with traffic in the AM. needa make sure to put my job infront of my problems. we'll see. i havent made that decision just yet but might go down that road soon.
 
^^

Pretty much they all run in the morning. Most go from like 6-10, something like that. You can't just choose to go whenever you want all day and night. They have specific medication times, and it's always in the morning.
