WOW !!!! , i watched Michelle's story tonight on A&E intervention. it really hit home. i have a loved one that is also on methadone, and xanex. seeing Michelle transform in only 10 weeks was amazing. i was glad to see she is staying a little longer. She really looked like a totally different person off the drugs. .She is clear in her thoughts, and her speech was so different. It actually brought tears to my eyes when i saw her after the ten weeks. I want to congratulate her on how wonderful she is doing, and how wonderful she looks not on the drugs, (and not all the make up). I am sooooo happy for her and her family and am looking forward to seeing her update. Michelle and her family are in my prayers.. please stay clean, your girls need you. I only wish my loved one could get clean like you.

I would like to know how it was for Michelle for those first couple weeks being off methadone... Did you go through tremendous cravings and irritability?? Or did they give you medication to control it? How long did you have to take meds to help the side effects of withdrawal? I'm only asking because I've been on methadone for years as well and really want to get off of it. You look GREAT and give me inspiration, however I too, am very very very very scared of the sickness.
