Relapse isn't part of "my recovery" but it's part of "my story" and "my experience", someday, this will be part of 'your story" and "your experience" and will be part of your arsenal to help others. Thinking of it that way helped get me through the darkest times, I knew this too would pass, and that one day I'd be able to use it to help others.
I had one sponsee that went 32 days without sleep I think it was (I'd have to ask him) coming off Oxy's, I'd see him looking more and more mangled every day, he eventually got through it and has nine? ten? years now. My other opiate/Oxy sponsee has eight years and just had a beautiful baby.
My personal experience with heroin withdrawals is watching my sister kick for a few months at my house, on my couch, took her awhile but she eventually also got through it.
You can do this, keep reaching out for help.
