Have I kicked the habit? (Heroin\Methadone)

I was a heroin addict for over two years. Recently I decided to kick the habit with the aid of methadone. 

I started on a very lose dose of 15ml on a Sunday and over the course of four days reduced it to down to 10ml. I stopped using the day before I started the meds. 

It has now been over 80 hours since my last dose and over a week since i last used. I feel completely normal.

Have I finally kicked the habit? I'm afraid that somehow I'll start suffering from withdraw?
