You may have stopped using, but you didn't stop behaving like a junkie. You were getting meds either illegally (from friends who got them also) or from a doctor who was writing script under false pretenses ... primary/family care docs can write for methadone for pain under some circumstances, but aren't licensed for detox. In AA such folks are called "dry drunks." I don't know what the NA equivalent terminology would be.
All that being said, I hope your life is now better, and you remain stable and sober.
My hospital isn't licensed for methadone, but can get it under special circumstances from a local clinic, but the patient has to already be registered with that clinic in order to receive the doses.
