Are you wanting to get sober? Or waiting to get your next fix?
Withdrawl can last maybe 7 days feeling really crappy..then it is a SLOW day by day improvement. That back pain is a killer I know! You didn't get to this state in one day so it takes a little bit to get out of the pitt.
I have done "several" opiate cold turkey withdrawals. But eventually you can eat and sleep as well as other bodily functions that return to normal. After my last methadone kick it took two months for my stomach to return to normal. Your stomach gets used to being bathed in opiates and it has a rough time coming around. My doctor once referred to it as a "stomach habit"..
Post back and let us know how it is going. I hope you want to get off them..it really is a awful game to have to keep up with..I feel for you .
I do know that being clean is worth it!!
