Definitely check out the Substance Abuse Forum here. You need people who know exactly what you're going through. And consider seeing a doctor for help with withdrawing.
I only know the exhaustion and insomnia related to alcohol withdrawal, but I think all of us alcoholics and addicts have a lot in common, too. Withdrawal is extremely uncomfortable and we have to find a way to get through the first couple of days before things start getting better. But I'll bet you that everyone who has done it will tell you it's worth every minute to get to the other side.
Just want to reach through cyberspace and give you a hug. You deserve a better life than this, and I'm SO glad you're here!!
