(((WarriorQueen))) - Welcome to SR! Though I did my share of abusing the heck out of opiates, I never had withdrawals and eventually ended up addicted to crack. I know there are a LOT of people here who are recovering opiate addicts, many threads on the substance abuse forum.
When I first came here, I read a ton of threads. I'm sure others will be along soon to offer there ES&H (experience, strength and hope) but you are definitely not alone. SR has been a HUGE part of my recovery.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
