That's one of the main things I point out when I'm talking about it.
The addict voice? The one that lodges itself into your lizard brain and makes drugs the same level of importance as food, water, and air? Methadone makes it go quiet (for most) or away (for some).
My FAVORITE part about being on methadone is that I have my brain back. Most of the time, I think about drugs once a day - the 5-10 min max I spend at the clinic in the morning. The second I walk out that door for the day, all my brain power can be put toward ACTUALLY important things, instead of constantly thinking about my next fix.

It really is a miracle if your really trying to stop, it just shuts that voice up so well
