I apologize in advance if I sound emo but here it goes...

So yea, it took me a little over 2 years of going every damn day of the week - no matter how sick I was at times - to my clinic as well as a referral by my methadone doctor to a 2 month rehab program in another part of the province before I was finally given my first carry. Two years of pissing in a cup twice a week, seeing my counselor every week and my doctor every 1-2 weeks.

Anyways, fast forward 5 months after I got my first carry and I now have 5, meaning I only have to go there twice a week, meaning I only have to see the doctor and counselor once a month each.

Monday (today) is one of the 2 remaining days I have to go to drink, piss in cup and pick up carries. I also my monthly appointment today with my counselor who told me - to my unpleasant surprise - that I tested positive for opiates a week ago.

I told her that; 1) I didn't put in 2 years worth of time to fuck it up now; 2) I'm on too high a dose of methadone to feel anything if I were to try to get high (currently on 170mg daily) and 3) I ate some poppy seed cake two weekends ago (I honestly did).

She told me that it's impossible to test positive from eating any food with poppy seeds in it.

I'm just wondering if anyone else on Methadone Maintenance Therapy has had the same shit happen to them?

I did not use. And the last time I did try to use which was about a year ago, I ingested 300mg of morphine and eventually felt a warm feeling in my head but it turned out to be rage at the fact I just wasted 5 perfectly good 60mg morphine pills.
