    Thank you sir,I'm three years into my recovery,searched the web high and low for info and help and this is the most accurate honest relatable clip I've watched. The warning about methadone suboxone is just. If I'd know I'd still be taking it 3 years later I'd never have taken it. I wasn't told any of that. Big love love to all on their journeys to recovery and to your friends and family's that stand with you. We are warriors

    I was on methadone for 20 years I was up to 115 mg I wean myself down and now it's been two years without any opiates I prove people wrong some people say you cannot get off of methadone well I guess I can Pat myself on my back that might be a start for some self confidence🙂

    I’ve been on methadone and suboxone. currently am on methadone. I’ve never experienced the side effects he talks about. Once you get take aways, it’s like taking any other medication people take.

    I know someone on methadone 3 diff times. First time they just stopped cause they didn't listen to proper detox and went crazy. This last time they did a slow detox of 2mgs/wk, then 1mg/wk, while INCARCERATED, and it took them just as long to get off as they were on it, but had no withdrawals when they finished. Only issue was they said was anxiety. I've been told by numerous people it's much easier to get off then Suboxone because you can get down to 1mg. It is possible!! Along with soberity! You just have to want it. After years of putting any substance or medication into your body, your body can't take it anymore. Pray for everyone still struggling with sobriety or mental health. Sending love, prayers and peace! 🙏 God #1.

    What you have overcome not many can. You’re incredible.
  • @LK-em1bv
    Ice is meth. Meth is methamphetamine. Speed is amphetamine. He is confusing meth with speed.
  • People are different some need suboxone some need methadone than its on you to start tapering and get off. If you know what you are doing its totally possible...

    Its hard to kick hardest thing ive ever been through
  • @jeffreycoon9634
    Every person is different. People need to realize this and find out what works best for them. He’s glorifying suboxone and I wouldn’t kick a dog in the ass for a truckload of the crap. I weaned off it and it was freaking horrible. Worse than heroin withdrawal! I weaned off of methadone after two years of taking it and it was a walk in the park compared to suboxone. Went from 120mgs to 17mgs. Of course I stayed constipated from the methadone but you’re going to do that on opioids. Other than that I had none of the side effects he’s talking about.

  • @johnboy4067
    Problem is people use on top of methadone , i think burphophine injection is the real game changer

    16 days clean from a 30 Yr opiate addiction and was on methadone most of that time, I think methadone should be banned it is truly an awful drug..it stalls everything in your body. I had a really bad leg infection about ten yrs ago and It left me with a lot of fluid on both legs, every bit of it has gone now..had I known how bad it is to get off I would never have even tried, it is the pitts I hate the stuff now..thanks for the video and congratulations for your success..
