I've been using hard drugs and alcohol since I was 13 years old. Im 36 now. I mostly used meth but the last couple years it's been heroin. The longest I've been clean in all these years is 4 months. Ive always held a job I'm married with kids and noone knows my history. My wife is the same way, meth in the past and now heroin, we've been together 11 years and either of our families has a clue what we've been doing basically since we were kids. The heroin though....really was taking its toll on us financially and physically. Neither of us had done meth in 5 years or so and we decided to try using meth and Suboxone to kick heroin. We got a quarter ounce of meth and some Suboxone 8mg strips. The subs we started with a full strip then cut the dose down over two weeks until it was gone. The meth helped with the lack of energy and surprisingly it worked. We both had tried to stop H several times but couldn't handle the sickness. So now the problem is yea we have 40 or so days off the heroin but we are smoking a pretty decent amount of meth on a daily basis. And when we stop the meth the heroin cravings come on strong with both of us. Then one day last week we were talking and had a realization. Neither of us had been completely sober since we were 12-13 years old and it scared the shit out of us, we are now on day 5 of absolutely no drugs and figured we would use the forums we had been reading for years for support and advice, as I'm sure the road ahead will be a rough one.
