Welcome to SR and congratulations on 7 days! You've done way better than I did. I lurked for more than a year and didn't sign on until I had 6 months clean as I wasn't quite sure I could do it.
I'm glad you made it through the DT's as they can be deadly.
You have joined a HUGE family, one that reaches all ends of the earth. People who "get it", what we are going through.
When I first actually joined, I read through all KINDS of threads. I had abused alcohol, opiates, but my "bring me to my knees" drug was crack. I found out, for me at least, that it didn't matter what the substance someone abused. We all had a common link.
I've got about 7-1/2 years in recovery, and I owe most of that to the people here.
Keep reading, keep posting. You are now part of the family, and we will walk beside you.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Thank you everyone 
the 1st 4 days were the worst shakes,anxiety non-stop,no sleep for 3 nights couldn't eat only drank water.I'm feeling soooo much better I'm eating and sleeping this site really kept me sane when I thought I was losing it I'd come on here read all ur stories and think if I pick up it will get worse!! If I just ride through this hell it can only get better.
