Hi umm I was on heroin for about three years and my habit in the end was up to a brick a day. Then I got on methadone and was on it for two years. one whole year before I even stopped using. Then the whole year after that I thought I was doomed. I was convinced that I would be on it the rest of my life. I looked all haggard and I wanted to kill myself so I started shooting coke smoking coke shooting dope all while on methadone. I wanted to die sooo bad and I thought my life was through.  I never really liked myself or my life but I always had a place in my head. Finally I just said screw it I'll take a chance Ill clean up because IM sooo fed up and I'll take a chance in living life. I said to myself that if i dont get any healthier i'll kill myself......If I end up with hep b or c or HIV I can always come back. So I started my detox I told them to take me down 5 mgs a day from 80mgs. (I didnt want a dragged out detox) Im not sure if it was a good idea or not because I ended up back on heroin again. I sold all my stuff my 2500$ computer system all my electronics everything. Then I started stealing from my family again. This went on for about 2 weeks then I finally said "Lets stop wasting time." I went down to stay with my aunt. and on the second day my aunt dragged me out to an herbalist and he gave me vitaman B complex along with chineese herbs which costs 50$ a bottle for a months supply plus multi-vitamins.
One is called Calm Spirit and the other is Ease Plus. Boy oh Boy oh Boy I cannot believe to this day how much easier they made it to quit. they lowered the cravings and completely took away the fucked up feeling in my body along with that electric feeling in my legs and all throughout my body. 
I could never stay clean in the past I went to jail 4 times and everytime came out weeks or months later  still feeling like shit..  My advise to anyone who has been a cronic heroin user for more then 9 months is to get on methadone (Hear me out) Im against methadone and at the same time I know it can work if people dont stay on it longer then 6 months or a year. Methadone if used properly does something to the brain which can help you come opiate free. (Only if you dont go above 90mgs and do not stay on it longer then 6 months to a year. And if you eat right and exercise without using on methadone it will be easier to come off of. Now if you combine this possibility and then start taking the herbs right before you stop meth. say aroung 25 mgs.......Then you can feel as content as I do. I got healthy big time. and my endorphins feel better then all the times in the past I tried to quit. As soon as I started taking these herbs and drinking valarium tea I started sleeping.  2 hrs the third night, 3 the next 5 then finally 8 hrs. Now remember everytime I tried to quit in the past I couldent sleep for weeks and the body pains were intense for weeks. And here I a sleeping on the third night without opiates after being on methadone for two years.
As a matter in fact Ive never felt this good period.......except for when I was a child. I feel REBORN and I know that I wouldent feel this god if I never got Calm Spirit and Ease Plus.. you should see the things that are in these herbs.
So if you really want to kick heroine and you been on it for a while you might want to try methadone only if you limit yourself to 6 months and make a sacrifice to stay clean because ill tell you this methadone helps you get used to living life without the mental aspect of being a heroine addict. were not just physically addicted were addicted to the chase and the lifestyle and the act of sticking needles in our arms (if youve gone that far.) 
Well I hope this helps somebody.
By the way NA meetings in after the first two weeks was also a big help for me.
Ive been clean for two months now (On the Street) Without going to rehab and without serious cravings. I even cut down on ciggaretts to 1-2 per day and thats pretty good for a smoker of 10 years.  IM 23 by the way. And to anyone who smokes ciggaretts the reason why I got healthy big time has a lot to do with cutting down also.  I wish that everyone out there just like me can pull through because there is a light in the end to those who want it.  And by the way if you dont want to quit your not gonna quit.
 
 
Drinking methadone damn thats like coating your body in plastic...hahaha....Well it is a synthetic....
 
remember don't go above 90 mgs and don't stay on it longer than a year......(thats what my friend told me right before he died from an overdose...
 
Come on people lets beat this disease...remember it is possible......everyday someone gets off of it and for many of them it just becomes a part of there past...don't you want to be one of those? I do.....Unlike in the past I just wanted to be the one who dies of an overdose.

Hey , I'm on the down side of methadone at about 35 mgs down from 100. I'm so sick of the shit .... I wanted to quit cold turkey at 65 I did for 5 days but feeling like shit and everybody bitching at me that I'm not doing it 'The Right Way' like there is a right way .The right way is not to be here to begin with I knew what I was doing I figure I could feel like shit for two weeks real bad or I could feel like shit for six monthes not real bad .I think the people that are close to me don't understand that I'm over the dope part it's the meth I need to get over. I'm on my wife's side of the computer so if anyone wants to reply my e-mail is [email protected]. Thanks Bill
