We are approaching the holiday season with Thanksgiving being tomorrow and I unfortuantely will not be able to spend it with my family. This sucks I guess, but things could be worse. Holidays aren't as big of a deal as they used to be. Christmas when I was a kid was something I looked forward to all year! My birthday is on December 2nd so from Thanksgiving all through New Years was always a very exciting time because during this month I had Thanksgiving, my B-day, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve, and New Years Day. Wow lots of fun and celebration. Now-a-days I am older and its really not as fun as it was. I live away from my family so I really don't even do anything special on these days.
Today at THS (my M.M.T. clinic; it stands for Theraputic Health Services lol) it was carry day so I faithfully lugged my locking box up there and got my take-home dose for Thanksgiving...and as fast as I got it I drank it down as I walked down the sidewalk away from the clinic. I really need to seriously think about a dose increase if I plan to be on methadone maintenance for a long-term amount of time. The cravings have increased for sure because I always look forward to doubling up when i get a take-home dose and this is bad. I don't go into w/d or get sick at all on the day I'm supposed to take the take-home, but still it is not good as far as my stability on the program goes. I will think more about that and talk to my counselor about it on December 1st at 9:30 when I meet with him for the first time. My other counselor either got fired or quit because the front desk told me she no longer works there, and re-assigned me to a guy named Darren. We'll see how that goes I suppose...%)...that's all for this blog update. Peace!
