hello there, AlphaOmega
the one thing about opiate withdrawals is that they won't kill us. with a support structure to prevent relapse (a possibility which certainly does not want sweeping under the carpet!) we needn't go through withdrawal any more than one time only! for many of us, a tough bit is the intense return of all feelings - ups, downs, around and rounds. overwhelming. but that is all they are - feelings. and they always pass - eventually - always! feelings don't kill, it's what we do with the feelings that will determine our destiny
warm wishes,
cd
