Thanks for taking the time to do it...<br /><br />Did you see the post on gledwoods comments about the methadone alliance & the government's treatment review....? <br /><br />Basically we have to be careful not to slate methadone so much that they take it away and replace it with...er..nothing!<br /><br />But I think you balance it well in the letter...btw do you think we should mention other countries that seem to be ahead of the UK in their treatment..like switzerland etc. Do we need success data? (I love data!)<br /><br />Or am I getting carried away...!<br /><br />Also I agree it would be easier to get people to sign it if they didn't have to give their real names etc...this is the problem with heroin...its a secret life for so many people. <br /><br />I think this may be why there has not been as much interest as expected..and also junkies are forgetful! Keep posting the link every day on Gledwoods site & it may help. <br /><br />For this to work we need to get people involved that wouldn't otherwise put themselves under scrutiny...How can we do this?<br /><br />Also...I will try and do a copy & paste 2nd draft tomorrow as have a day off...<br /><br />...Sorry for enormous post...got a bit excited..<br /><br />XxxXxXLady Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940612139110081790.post-57306582305683738862010-11-29T21:33:24.837+00:002010-11-29T21:33:24.837+00:00sounds good, only thing is some ppl dont want to c...sounds good, only thing is some ppl dont want to come 'out' and give their name to the government or M.P's I'm sure I dont! I agree with all you have wrote and have been following all blogs regarding this matter at such a bad time for us all including Gledwood, I'd love to sign a petition, but we all live a different life behind closed doors not something we need advertised to a government that have proved they cannot be trusted, in these hard times nothing more would I want then to have a script but that would mean admitting on file to all who wants to see that I am a registered User, I was in care so haing my life on file again just couldnt be an option, things change as we all know! How could we go around trying to help but not identifying who we are!

Pls dont take these comments negatively, I just think it needs to be a little more concise so that people who have little or no interest in this subject (ie those it is destined for ((sadly))) would be able to read it quickly and absorb the facts. However a fantastic starting point and a lot more than Ive seen anyone else come up with, during this time. regardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940612139110081790.post-68378653114609616752010-11-29T01:15:28.612+00:002010-11-29T01:15:28.612+00:00Nice one..

I think all addicts should go to #10 Downing Street and not only have a mass demonstration, but perhaps a coup could be attempted!{get Labour back!!}<br /><br />Sorry, my venting is over now...good letter Sid, and respect to you for taking the time to write this out....<br />Best wishes,<br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940612139110081790.post-17111618436471278852010-11-29T00:55:11.156+00:002010-11-29T00:55:11.156+00:00By the way, I always used to have to split dose my...By the way, I always used to have to split dose my methadone, what ever they say it doesnt hold you for 24 hours.. It got really difficult when I was reducing and got down to 10mls.. doing 5 and 5 was just silly!<br /><br />First opiate I ever took was MST, and loved it! Sure they could prescribe that instead of the old green!<br /><br />Other countries are much further ahead of us in this respect, im sure Holland have much more progressive treatments for opiate addictionSidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708564994172183411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940612139110081790.post-56936969240279482082010-11-29T00:52:24.441+00:002010-11-29T00:52:24.441+00:00Cheers Gled,

I use because I feel anything from...yep you got it. I use because I feel anything from flat to suicidal on methadone. Why the fuck they think this poison is any better than heroin really does defy belief. It's all about control ~ supervised consumption. Well how about supervised diamorphine, then after a month or two let us take it home. You'd have to be a genuine nutter to "divert" as they like to put it, diamorph amps!<br />Injectables aren't the only option, there are morphine pills which are way better than methadone and can be taken 12 hourly.<br />Government please stop getting hung up on "methadone is best because it can be taken once daily" I take mine in split doses, it works way better that way.<br />They really really have to do something FAR better for us in treatment, else some will go on shoplifting/prostituting, others will blow all their dole on heroin. Is that a success? Just because you've given up crime but can barely afford a tin of beans. The entire system is corrupt.<br />Run clinics for the client, not the staff. Then you could dose x2 or x3 a day and get rid of that shitty methadone for once and for all. Yes it might work for some, but I'm thinking about one in 20 IF THAT.<br />Hope you enjoyed the rant.<br />I'm going to write my own. IF we can be as factual as possible in our own words we might be taken a little more seriously. A petition form would be wonderful too.<br />We need to know who EXACTLY to send this stuff too, else it will get passed from person to person to a filing cabinet, or worse, the binGledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940612139110081790.post-4918551708195533062010-11-27T18:43:33.806+00:002010-11-27T18:43:33.806+00:00Yeah, they have done a few trials over the years, ...Yeah, they have done a few trials over the years, I doubt they would start putting people on it now.. I think the price is a factor, although I believe its only around £6 a box? Or maybe each..?
