Methadone Explanation
UpdatedMy wife has been dealing with my H addiction for years. I've done everything you can think of to make her not trust me I've started treatment at a Methadone clinic and I've been sticking to the program for the last almost 2 months and if you knew me that is a big step my dose right now is 100mg and it controls all my cravings and sickness but my wife wanted me to stop at 80 but cravings would still bother me sometimes and I would still get a little withdrawal symptoms at night so I told her I stopped at 80 but I didn't she thinks that I went up to make myself feel high and that I'm doing the Methadone just like H I know that I shouldn't have lied and now that I did it doesn't help me show her that I'm tired of that life I want nothing more than to be a sober person and never go back to the way I was I am tired of being a disappointment to her and my kids how do I help her understand that I'm not doing the program to get high and understand that I wish I could do it on my own without Methadone but I have tried and failed miserably each time I want to stay sober and never go back to the addict I was how do I explain myself to her without making her think that it's just another drug I'm using

Hello, Matt! How are you and your wife?
What you might want to do is let her go with you to the clinic one day, so she can talk to a professional about it and ask any questions she may have. They will be best qualified to provide her with any information she might need and to help her understand the situation.
This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
