just looking for others like me

I've been taking pain pills since 2007 and being tired was such a problem for me that I started snorting crystal for energy.  Now I am toughing it out to get off these things and I wonder if others out there did the same thing I did? Today is just day 2 of the taper off all drugs and I am going to stay strong,

Great!!!  Mixing those two drugs is playing with absolute fire!  You really should NOT mix them even during the taper you're doing.  Crystal meth can be just stopped without too much physical problem except maybe fatigue.  The opiates could technically be stopped too, but you will have a little harder time with that.  Tapering is good, but I'd really like to see you decide against mixing them!

Good for you!! I was an opiate user for 7 years, never tried crystal but I think someone will come along and help you out with that, as I know nothing about the wd effects from that drug. The good thing is, you realized what ws happening and you stopped. 2 days and no turning back. To relapse is just to start the entire process over and over and over. Many/most relapse, a sad realiity. Be the one to break that statistic. Be strong!!! God Bless and Good Luck!!!
