Methadone, Recovery & Sparkpeople
Friday, July 27, 2012
Here is my post of yesterday (not reviewed):
It's 9 am. I'm awake since 6, 'cause yesterday I fall asleep maybe at 7 or 8 pm, I'm not sure, I don't really remember. I'm taking methadone, prescribed from my doctor for my heroin addiction. That's why I fall asleep without even realizing, in every possible position, sometimes even with stuff under my body. I'm getting a lot prescribed (15 ml./day) but from tomorrow on I will reduce 1 ml every week. I want to completely stop taking this poison. I had never taken so much and there are lots of secondary effects, one of them is that it slows down my metabolism and I gain weight. But I've seen that with SP it's possible to control it. Anyway, the main reason for wanting to stop is Freedom. I don't have any freedom at all, because I'm not only physically dependent on this "legal drug", but also mentally. If one day I don't take my dose, well completely not taking it's impossible, I mean, if I take less then what I'm used to, then I get really depressed and sensitive and start crying for every little thing, every thought I have is sad and they all seem so real.
There were many times where I tried to stop taking drugs (I'll call them all just drugs, the legal and the illegal ones, because they all have the same effect on the body and the mind, they're all opiates), but I believe it didn't work because my life was too empty. There were for sure other factors in play, but since I started this time with SP I understood something very important. Let me explain:
Before I only ate once everyday. I spent all day drinking coffee and smocking cigarettes until the night, then I got hungry and ate a lots of sweets or whatever I was craving. The days were also very depressing, empty, full of thoughts against myself. I spent lots of hours on the computer watching TV series. I guess it was a way to silence all that negative self-talk. And my internal clock was also upside-down, I slept at least until 1 or 2 pm (at least!). And this is not everything that went wrong. There were other things affecting me, like the death of my best friend and only brother and the daily calls of my depressing and controlling mother. But that's another story... Anyway, when I started the SP program I understood and saw that the most important thing in life is to be healthy. It's the first thing you have to take care of. The other things come later, but first is your health. When you take care of your health, you feel good, happy, motivated. Just taking care of what I eat has such an incredible effect on my wellbeing. Now I see that in order to be able to stop the drugs or medications I take, I need to have a life that I like. If I exercise and eat healthy, I feel so much better. And if I pursue my life goals, my life starts to feel full, full of things I love, instead of almost empty or just filled with things I hate. No wonder I couldn't stop taking drugs! When you try to stop, you feel really bad for some time, and if there's nothing in your life that you love or like, then you don't feel the power and motivation you need to go on. You say to yourself: "why suffer? for what?".
Now my goal is to fill my life with things that I love, and also to put away the things that I don't love, which is maybe more difficult. It doesn't mean that it will be easy,but at least it's a goal that motivates me. I am still having a lot of negative self-talk, but it's normal since I've been doing that for many years. And I'm not exercising anymore. I know that it would help me a lot with feeling good, I want to start again.

I can relate to the weight gain while being on methadone. I'm on 68 mg. and decreasing 2 mg. weekly. When i first got on it, i was 140 something pounds and since then i've gained over 50. It's not a good feeling and it's very hard to lose weight while on this medication. It slows down your metabolism ALOT. But it was good to read your story and to know that there are others out there going thru the same struggle.

First, I want to tell you how brave you are for telling others about your heroin addiction and your rx for methadone. I've never used meth or heroin but my husband has been addicted to meth so I know it's a huge deal. He also talks about a former girlfriend who used heroin. What's my point? You are faced with some serious challenges, but stick with it please. You can get through this no matter how tough it is from moment to moment. Take care and be good to yourself in healthy, positive ways!

Attracting Opposite Personalities
Don't be a pretenderYou two are different, so don't make a pathetic attempt to understand and agree with her stance on social mores or politics. Don't just sit there like a goof going, "Hmm, you're probably right about that." Don't abandon your own personality simply because you're faced with a polar opposite; many guys will attempt to dodge the land mines by being a pretender. You'll immediately appear as if you have zero substance, no mind of your own and worse, you'll probably step directly into a trap without knowing it. She'll see right through the pitiful ruse in no time: Do you honestly believe she doesn't notice how different you two are? Besides, she obviously has no qualms about revealing who she is, so why insult her by veiling who you are? This situation has great potential, and attempting to override it by being a pretender is one of the worst mistakes you can make.
This is a good rule for just about any flirting situation. Understandably, who you are doesn't matter as much when you're not hunting for a life companion, but it's not a classy or refined tactic. And that flies right in the face of everything you stand for, correct?
Use your differences to generate heatMuch like the "Take an interest in her interests" tip, this requires excellent observational skills and should only be attempted by the dating professional. Rather than avoiding the subject, and rather than skirting the issue when she pipes up with something you vehemently disagree with, you unleash with a fiery rebuttal. This works best with women who are talkative and charismatic, and after feeling her out for a few minutes, you should be able to discern if this is a viable option. If she seems more shy and reserved, don't bother following this path because it's just too dangerous. Get yourself locked in a heated debate — the subject matter is irrelevant — and let that heat boil over into another kind of heat; let it feed the flames of passion.
What, you've never heard of angry sex before? Then go watch A History of Violence (but no hitting the lady!).
opposites do attractWhenever you encounter someone who appears to be your exact opposite, it can be difficult and even a little intimidating, but you do have options. You always have options. You can choose one of these tips early on and go with it, or you can wait for a few minutes and then select a plan of attack.
Either way, if you're not prepared for a conversation you're not familiar with, shooting from the hip can be a risky proposition, and the consequences are immediate. You're continually walking a tenuous line with this scenario because the two of you are on completely different wavelengths. The trick is to meld those wavelengths together, thereby creating that sensuous melody both of you understand. You simply need to translate the situation into a language that you're comfortable with, and I can help you do just that.

Buying a wasp killer from a store isn't going to solve all your wasp infestation problems. You have to use the product correctly, setting it up as instructed. Next you have to be patient and let it do its work. Unless, of course you have purchased a wasp spray or wasp powder, which means you will be applying the product onto the nest itself in hopes of removing it from the vicinity.
More than properly setting up the wasp killer, knowing the best time to do it and what you can do to make sure you don't get a similar infestation next year is just as important.
Q: When is the Best Time to Kill Wasps?
Most resources (including this website) will tell you that the best time to go after a nest is at night. This is absolutely true. What many won't tell you however, is the best time of year to kill the wasps, which is June.
As you know, wasps begin new colonies come spring. Throughout the spring, the queen is giving birth while her workers are expanding the nest and tending to the young. By June, the queen has already established the colony well enough so you can spot it. However, during this time the nests are still relatively small, which makes them much easier to deal with.
Also, during this month, which is like a bridge between spring and summer, temperatures still drop really low at night, making it difficult for wasps to fly and defend their nest. In the later summer months when the evenings are warmer, wasps can easily fly out and begin attacking if you try to remove the nest.
Tip: If you find the nest late in the summer or in the fall, it is better to put killing wasps out of your head. By this time, the nest is a large colony, which can be quite dangerous. Also, the winter weather will kill them off soon enough, and spare you the trouble. In a case like this, simply put traps up around your home and wait for winter. Come spring, focus on preventing, repelling and deterring them.
Q: What's a Good Natural Wasp Repellent
There are many things in nature which act as natural bug repellents. Planting onions, garlic, wormwood, and neem around your garden will act as a wasp repellent. You can also create water based sprays, diluting spices and chillies in warm water or peppermint in warm water, and use these mixtures to spray or soak your fences to keep wasps away.
Keep in mind that a wasp repellent will not kill wasps, just keep them away from you.
Apart from using a wasp repellent or coming up with a plan to kill wasps, make sure you also secure areas of your home or areas near your home with other preventive techniques, making sure wasps don't nest there and the infestation never begins.

How Does Wind Compare to Solar Power?
Quite a bit of attention is being paid to renewable energy sources these days, especially by consumers and environmental advocacy groups. In general, we agree that important steps need to be taken to facilitate a more independent and clean source of power for our society. However, there is still much debate as to which direction we should move.
The two leading candidates in our search for a sustainable power source are wind and solar power. But which one will work better on an industrial scale? On a personal scale? Which will get us more for our money? Well, both are certainly viable options and both areas of study are progressing rapidly. But if I HAD to choose…?
Overall it would appear that wind power is slightly more cost-effective than solar power at this time. In a study conducted by Ontario, Canada based company, Detronics Limited, one wind turbine and one solar array were set up and tested over the course of one year.
Over that time span, wind proved to be more cost-effective than solar power. The total kWh produced by each system were recorded and then divided into the total cost of purchasing and running each system. During this year-long study, wind power proved to cost just over $3.00 less per kWh produced.
To get pricing on a solar system in your area, click here.
It seems obvious. But they could not draw any definite conclusion as to which one would be the better buy. First of all, both systems over time would most likely prove to be extremely cost-effective. This was but a one-year study, and because wind and solar power are renewable energy sources, they would continually produce energy with only the costs of routine maintenance. Therefore, that cost per kWh for both systems would continually decrease.
Secondly, the researchers set a goal of 120 kWh produced per month and neither system met this goal on its own. Now this goal could surely be reached using one or the other, but you would need five times the photovoltaic array or two more wind turbines. It is far more practical to use, what they refer to as a Hybrid system, for two reasons: It is far more cost effective and both systems are highly susceptible to seasonal changes.
Seasons affect both solar and wind power in dynamic, if not obvious, ways. A solar array produces much more energy during the summer months while the wind turbine tended to produce better during the winter months when there is less sunshine but more wintry winds. Now, it is important to remember that no two places on earth are likely to have the same results garnered by these researchers in Ontario.
In some areas wind power may be the obvious choice, while in arid, sunnier climes solar power might be more advantageous (although wind is oftentimes a powerful force in desert climates also). Nonetheless, in temperate climates, where the majority of Americans live, it appears that the focus should not be so much on Wind vs. Solar, but Wind and Solar.
However, the study misses on one crucial point. Cost effectiveness can not be the only factor when deciding which form of energy to utilize. Especially on the scale of the average homeowner. On such a small scale, while price is still a very sensitive issue, practicality also becomes a very influential line of questioning.
Even if wind is more efficient and inexpensive in terms of production, who can afford to build a large wind turbine in their backyard? Other than the rare homeowner who lives atop a large hill with no obstructions, the idea of the wind turbine will almost certainly lose to a solar array, which can be installed on almost any roof.
Solar energy, being more easily accessible, is definitely the optimal choice for homeowners who would like to become energy independent. And that is a huge advantage, solar can free homeowners from the binds of high utility bills and power outages. This becomes even more exciting considering recent innovations in plastic and nanocrystal solar cells which promise to greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing and installation.
On an industrial level, as more and more of our grid-based energy is derived from renewable energy sources and the grid itself moves "off the grid," the question will no longer be which one to use, solar or wind, but where to use each one. For the beauty of energy derived from renewable resources is that our future energy consumption will no longer affect our environment so much as be affected by our environment.

|Export Preparedness Seminars Pave an Exciting New Path
|| Print |
March 31, 2010 — The latest Equine Canada Export Preparedness Training seminars in the cross-Canada series were held in Guelph, ON, on March 27, and Kemptville, ON, on March 28, 2010. Speakers and topics were selected to provide attendees with the tools required to strengthen Canada's ability to export horses and equine genetics to countries around the world. Breeders, along with other stakeholders involved in the business of rearing, developing and marketing horses, were in attendance.
"While the series revolves around a core body of information developed by Equine Canada, we brought together speakers from Gencor, Sea Air Freight Forwarders, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Canada Brand, Export Development Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) who do business in the areas where the seminars were held," said Susan Stewart, Equine Canada Breeds & Industry Division, Coordinator Export Market Development. "The results are two-fold. Attendees had the opportunity to learn from these speakers who have extensive experience and a deep understanding in their fields, and attendees are also invited to contact these professionals in the future, so that they can leverage off of the expertise they offer and ultimately, increase the export trade of horses and genetics."
Seminar Sound Bites
• Export of equine semen from Canada to countries other than the USA increased from 987 units in 2007 to 5,772 units in 2009; more opportunities for the increase in the export of horses and genetics have been identified
• A recent study concluded that conception rates in horses inseminated with frozen semen were increased by 31% with the use of INRA-Freeze
• Export Development Canada offers protection against foreign buyers' failure to pay with coverage up to 90%
• Equine businesses involved in the export of Canadian-bred horses can design their websites, brochures and other marketing materials under the Canada Brand program offered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada which includes the use of design materials and guidance at no cost
• CFIA will work with breeders to meet the strict requirements for exporting equine semen to the European Union and other countries around the world
• An initiative is underway to establish a Made-in-Canada message for use by equine producers; all stakeholders will be invited to participate
• The Equine Canada Export Market Development Strategy has identified 94 activities in which 16 breed associations and Equine Canada will participate in during the 2010-2011 time-frame. Activities include research, incoming and outgoing trade missions, advocacy, training and education, trade shows, and promotional and branding projects
More Seminars to Share
To ensure availability of seminar information to individuals in other locations in Canada, continuation of the seminar series is planned. Additional information on how these seminars will be offered will be made available once funding for the 2010-2011 period has been confirmed.
Partnership to Advance Canadian Export

Political Wisdom: Democrats, Seeking to Avoid a Train Wreck
Here's a summary of the smartest new political analysis on the Web:
by Sara Murray and Gerald F. Seib
The Democrats' Rules and Bylaws Committee meets Saturday to "try to solve a big problem, in order to avoid a huge problem in order to prevent a train wreck," writes Politico's Roger Simon. The "big problem," of course, is deciding what to do about Michigan and Florida, "two states stripped last year of their delegates to the Democratic National Convention because both broke party rules and moved their primaries up too early in the election year." Simon notes that the committee will have to try to please a lot of different constituencies: Florida and Michigan voters, the campaigns of Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and committee members themselves, who believe in living by rules. "The huge problem is what happens if one side or another does not like the rules committee's compromise. In that case, the controversy would go to the 186-member Credentials Committee, which will convene in July or August." It won't be easy; Simon reports that committee members have been "warned to keep their hotel rooms Saturday night, because the meeting may go into Sunday."
Washingtonpost.com's Chris Cillizza points out that "Clinton and her husband seem to be laying the groundwork — whether unconsciously or consciously — to go back to Democratic voters if Barack Obama comes up short in November with a very concise message: 'Told you so.'" Over the weekend Bill Clinton said "She is winning the general election today and [Obama] is not, according to all the evidence…And I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running." Their point has some weight. Clinton's running better vs. Sen. John McCain than Obama in polling in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
"The Clintons' message," Cillizza notes, "is that Democrats are ignoring all past precedent in choosing their nominee in this race, and that alleged break with history has serious implications in the fall general election." Going forward though, Clinton will have to rally behind Obama if she hopes to repair her image and be seen as a uniter within the party."In the long term, Clinton needs to hope that if Obama is defeated…the after-action report within the party jibes with the argument she is making in the final days of the primary: That Democrats rushed to judgment by picking the fresh face rather than the reliable warrior, and that the big, Rust Belt states were always the crucial battleground in the race versus McCain."
Newsweek's Andrew Romano looks at the chances McCain will pick his primary foe, Mitt Romney, as his running mate—and rates those chances as "moderate." The former Massachusetts governor "is almost all upside. For starters, he's a decade younger than McCain, 71, and looks about 50–a key consideration for a candidate who often claims he's 'older than dirt.'" Romney knows the economy, and might deliver the key state of Michigan, where his father was governor. He's a great fund-raiser and does well with Republican conservatives. The problem: "In the wake of Romney's February withdrawal, it was widely reported that Team McCain considered their recently vanquished rival an unprincipled opportunist, and in interviews and speeches at the time, the candidate was barely able to keep his contempt in check…" Still, Romano notes, McCain got past his much deeper antipathy toward President Bush.
Just for fun (we think), Jeff Greenfield on Slate has Barack Hussein Obama in mind when he notes "this undeniable historical fact: Americans have rarely elected, or even nominated, a presidential candidate with an unusual name. Run down the names of the 42 men who have held the office: From Washington to Madison to Grant to Wilson to Clinton to Bush, the names ring with echoes of Northern Europe, of Scotch-Irish or Dutch or German ancestry. Of all our presidents, only one bore a name that could fairly be called unusual: Eisenhower." Rarely are those with unusual names even nominated–save Michael Dukakis. "And that hardly went unnoticed. Comedian Pat Paulsen observed that the name of the 1988 Democratic nominee looked like the bottom line on an eye chart."

We know her as the dynamic, no-nonsense judge clothed in regal robes. But when Judge Judy suffered a stroke, she felt as helpless as some of the people who appear before her in court, she told Dr. Mehmet Oz on his Tuesday talk show. Plus: Dr. Oz offers easy ways to boost weight loss and lose 10 pounds without cravings.
Judge Judy told Dr. Oz that initially she tried to ignore the signs that something was wrong. But when her TV show staff listened to her slurred speech, they insisted on calling 911.
After suffering a minor stroke, Judge Judy has become an expert in the warning signs. Think it couldn't happen to you?
Strokes are increasing among young adults and even adolescents, reported West Hawaii Today on Tuesday. The reason is linked to growing rates of obesity and unhealthy diets that are high in salt and sugar.
"Stroke is typically thought of as something that affects older people, but more and more young people are having them and we see that time and again reflected in the patients we admit," said Dr. Ford Vox, a staff physician at Shepherd Center. "Here the average age of patients in our stroke program is 31."
He traces the beginning of the epidemic of strokes among young people to the change in the Standard American Diet (SAD). "We're eating more processed foods, more salts and reaping the fruits of that. Problems that used to develop in older adults such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity, we're now seeing in people as young as 14."
And one way to combat those problems, says Dr. Oz, is to learn to make small diet changes that can add up to big weight loss benefits. Just by cutting 100 calories a day, you can lose 10 pounds without feeling deprived.
For breakfast, for example, bypass bagels. They contain up to 400 calories. Chose a 150-calorie English muffin instead.
Like cheese on your veggies or potato? One tablespoon of Parmesan cheese contains 22 calories, but two ounces have more than 240 calories. Use the Parmesan to slash the calories.
Chocolate ice cream tastes fabulous. But with almost 300 calories per cup, consider swapping it for a sugar-free fudge pop. It just has 40 calories.
Love sausage? Become a bacon fan instead. Two slices have 80 calories compared to 170 calories per one pork sausage link.

This post has been inspired by a poem written by Rosie Miles. Rosie is studying for a literature MA and the programme includes sharing her writing with visual artists, who are to produce work in response. Rosie sent me a selection of poems, including one called 'Bench (for Kate Etheridge)'.
Kate was a friend of Rosie's who died young from a brain tumour. A group of her friends collected money to have a bench engraved in her honour. The narrator of the poem describes sitting on the bench, tracing the inscription with her fingers, thinking of Kate. The poem brings out the tactile qualities of the bench, still very much there years after Kate's death.
"...As yet you're not
defaced, and ten years on you're part of what
lives, grows, belongs here in this place...."
Reading the poem I was very strongly aware of a sense of the solidity and presence of the bench, and the absence of Kate. I often look at the inscriptions on benches in parks and wonder who these people were, people who loved the park so much, and who were loved by those who chose to commemorate them in this way. I found that the bench was in Ruskin Park in South London, not too far from where I live. I thought it would be interesting to visit and document the bench, to sit on it and explore it and the space it was in, to place it in my mind and on the map. I wanted to explore the sense of the solidity of the bench, to see if it was there still, while Kate, whom I never knew, was- where?
So here is the bench made in Kate's memory. The little film clip above was taken stting on the bench, trying to capture a sense of being there, while the stills below document the bench as it was in August 2011.

Being put to shame seems to be the greatest human fear, besides death. Actually, many have preferred death over shame. Even entire cultures embrace "honor suicides" over losing face or shaming their family.
Is this why Jesus death addresses overcoming death and guilt or shame? All our craziest sins are rooted in those fears.
Our failures are often due to not even trying, lest we fail and experience shame.
In Psalm 25, verses 2-3, the Psalmist expresses a common human sentiment in his prayer to God. He also expresses the belief or hope that only traitors and evil men are shamed, but experience has proven otherwise, so he prays:
I trust in you,
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.
My prayer:
Father, I have, at times, asked you to vindicate me of slander and clear my name, but I'm not so sure that keeping me from being shamed is something you promise me. You'd rather teach us not to have false pride and dread shame, so we can be transparent and fearless!
Often, no one else even notices the things that cause us so much embarrassment. The awkwardness fear of shame creates draws far more judgment than energetic, out loud living. The wallflower who refuses to participate draws far more negative attention to herself than the lady who leaps onto the dance floor without doesn't worry about her hairdo.
Abba**, you taught me years ago that if I "put mud on my face first thing in the morning," shame is not something I have to fear. My self esteem does not depend on anyone else's approval. I am valuable because you created me and I am your child.
I can live free from shame, no matter how many risks I take or how many times I fail, because there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.
Thank you for this freedom. Let your wisdom, not my fear of shame, be my guide and motivation.
*Holy Bible, New International Version
**Papa or Daddy, as God our Father

Introducing: RC's BBQ at the MN State Fair
By: Stephanie March | Posted: 01/08/2014
Patrick's Restaurant & Bakery is now open in the Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, in what was formerly a California Pizza Kitchen. What a welcome change for this area.
The space has been overhauled and now evokes a bright sunny French cafe with yellow walls, a white marble bar, bakery cases staked with treats, and a full kitchen. On one side you have the bar and cafe seating, at which the full menu can be ordered from the counter. On the other side are dark booths and tables which come with servers.
The menu starts with breakfast that includes Patrick's omelet croissant, eggs Florentine, and serious French toast. Lunch and dinner follow with sandwiches and salads, plus a line-up of six versions of quiche, the already cultish Patou burgers (which are burgers sliced and served on fresh toasted baguettes ... some with sassy cornichon!), and a few tarte flambé as promised.
From the pizza oven, the tartes are crisp flatbreads, traditionally topped lightly with creme fraiche, bacon, and onion. They have five versions on the menu including two dessert options, I'm excited for the one with sauteed bananas, chocolate chips, and creme fraiche flambeéd with dark rum.
After 5pm the bigger plates come out: beef Bourguignon, coq au vin, halibut Napoleon, steak frites. And the full bar has a cocktail specials for happy hour and snack specials on crab cakes, coquilles St. Jaques, baked brie, and sliders.
Never mind the cases jammed with croissant, brioche, danish, éclair, opera cake, cheesecake, napoleon, tiramisu, chocolate tart ... yikes. People leaving the nearby megamovieplex should be psyched that there's a non-chain eatery cooking adult food (and real cake!) within a few strides.

JXD MP4 player and gaming console?manufacturer, is known for his PSP and Nintendo DS clones. Today he tackles the iPhone 4 by proposing an MP4 player who has the same design.
The JXD A16 measures only 9.8 mm thick, it features a 4.3 inch touch screen and a G-Sensor for video games. It can also play HD video up to 720p with TV output and decodes Flash format. At the rear there is a 5 megapixel camera. It is also able to decode the Lossless audio files, and offers other functions such as voice recorder, e-book reader and FM radio. Finally JXD provides protective cover available in 6 colors.
Seeing this device we think this is what iPod Touch 4 should look like.

The event will serve as a vote-a-thon for the contest, which will award a $100,000 grant to the park with the most votes on July 15, as well as a fund-raiser for Pratt Pool. If Pratt Park wins the national contest, the city plans to use the grant to build a splash pad.
Prattville's Papa John's will set up a drive-thru in the pool's parking lot to sell large pepperoni pizzas for $9. In addition, pizza slices will be sold for $2.
Voting stations will be set up around the pool to show residents how to vote and help create Foursquare accounts. At midday today, Pratt Park was in first place with 2,794,148 votes.
The Pratt Pool will also be open for its first evening swim until 8:30 p.m. Admission will be $1.
