Will my opiate withdrawals get better as long as I keep tapering down??

Im 32 and started using when i was 29. Tooth pain and easy access. So I've been taking hydros for 3 years. On the 3rd year I through in some oxy and morphine . I got up to about 300mg a day. This past may I "quit". I did cold turkey for 2 days then I used three strips of suboxone. 3 day I took half a 8 by 2. 4th and 5th day a quater. Then took quarters for a few days after. Then skipped days until it was gone. took me about 3 weeks to feel ok. Then I relapsed around the first week in June. Been using hydros up until Sunday the 8th. About 100 mg a day. Sunday I only took 5mg. The that evening I took 5gs of kratom. Kratom helped alot. Monday i did 5g four times. I did that until Friday. Friday I had none and the withdrawals were tough but not the worst . Hot cold flushes, dyharea, runny nose until I got up and moved around. Friday night 9pm I took 15mg hydro. went to sleep 6 or 7 am with cold and hot flashes. Generally uncomfortable. Slept alright I guess. Woke up with same symptoms. Took a 10 mg hydro at 10pm tonight. I'm week I know. I disappoint myself but at the same time I don't feel I'm doing to bad. I feel like im gonna get through this. Does my suffering through the day count for anything if I take progressively smaller doses at night?? I'm new to bluelight. I got nobody around to ask questions to about this and sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
 
As long as you take less and less you're moving in the right direct, so yes. By switching to a less powerful opioid like drug such as kratom you are moving in the right direction, and by taking less kratom each week you are also making progress. Keep up the good work OP.
 
I hear ya. The mental aspect is the worst part of getting clean. If you can be kind and gentle enough with yourself to over come the mindfuck of the transition to early recovery you'll be golden.
 
Hey so just to let you know. it worked out good. I have pretty much no withdrawal and have had zero mg since Monday. I'm up and down emotionally but I keep my mind somewhat busy.
