Introduction I am a 55 year old opiate addict. Been in MMT since 1978, wondering if I can get out before I die. Mom, 2 boys, 1 I gave birth to, the other I did not. They are 37 and 31.The LOVE of my life is my husband and partner, D. Bruce!!!! BTW, reminded my 1st taste of an opiate was paregoric. My Dad informed us, that it was given to me by the "quarts", so to speak! Something my Dad shared with us after my son was born. D.J. was also delivered by a midwife.

We have no health insurance, I don't know how much longer I can take this though.. I haven't shared any of this with my son step son or daughter in laws, I think that my husband doesn't really care or thinks I'm a hypochondriac too I don't know what to do anymore. Beside the clinic every 28 days it's getting to be a real drag! I promised my son that I wouldn't take my own life, but if I don't get any better I will! I
