Just my morniing

This morning I woke up at 6ish am. At 6:20am I left for the Methadone clinic. When I got to the garage I got in the Jeep, low and behold I tried to start the car and it didn't start. I go back up stairs to the second floor and into the condo. My father's guess was that the battery was dead.

I ended up having to take a taxi to the clinic. At first my dad gave me a 20 dollar bill, I knew thsi wasn't going to be enough, he swore up and down it would be enough. I ended coaxing another 20 out of him. I was correct it costed 19,25$ one way, so the total ride cost just under 40.00$ The whole way to and from the clinic I was terrified that I wouldn't have enough money.

When I got home and had no change for him, he was flabbergasted that it cost so much for such a short cab ride. Its 12 miles from my house ot the clinic. After all the dealing with the crouching that I got ripped off, I got on the couch and fell back asleep. I was up early and tired. My dad began yelling at me that I wa nodding out. Fucker. My dose is only at 65mgs and I'm not feeling that great yet.

Never be surprised about the cost of a cab ride. Ever! In Morocco, we once turned down a trip across Casablanca because the night train to Fez was cheaper!

65mg should hold you if you can stay 3 or 4 days on a level dose that is unless you've been using more than a g a day.

I'm reducing my dose by 5mg every week I wish I could have been on nothing. I am bearing in mind everything I have heard on this subject and want to do the final 5 or 10mg methadone or 10mg subutex/suboxone in 6 months no less no way do I wanna be done of those people who comes off all gung ho only to go screaming back on it you know the type darling it's easy to think you're OK when you're the other side of bullet proof glass...

Ha, it's like $15 for about 3 miles here.

I think it costs about $5 a mile here for an average minicab fare but we are in London.

How are you you haven't posted in ages.

you live in a suburban area, right? man, that taxi shit sux. i live outside chicago, where cabs are expensive but at least you don't need a car and all that... but i'm just far enough away that a cab ride to anywhere will cost you at least $40 plus tip. taxi drivers are ballin, damn.
