10 days off hardcore 8 year opiate addiction

my 10th day yesterday was my worse i cryed in the closet all day, I had been up for7- 8 days.     day 9 major depression by this pointe the bed was my enemy for as far as i was conce rned took different sleeping meds trazadone benadryl, seraquil, ambien nothing worked the seriquil and the trazadone they both made me have such bad restless legs and arms I fell down a few times but besides all the details So yesterday i just get in bed and tell the lord that i will read the bible until i fall asleep, WEll i ended up sleeping that night yesterday day 9. But today quite the opposite i worked out did some stuff and felt like my old powerful person motivated concentrated, knowing that thinks were going to work out for me. I just thing god has a plan and getting off the opiates is going to bring real blessings, anyways im a jesus girl Yesterday while i cryed in the closet I felt like were is god, were is he......and today is day 10,  and as Elton jhon would say" Im still standing"........God was there the whole time how do you think I could made it this far God was in those 9 days and on the tenth he gave me rest. I miss feeling like my old self shes more of a bad *** than me on the pills im way cooler opiate free and starting to feel good again Sorry to get so deep but just wanted to share what ive been through so is it helps even 1 person than thats cool with me peace out and god bless.........I'm not dork but get into the bible theres an allmighty God who loves you and can save you........I din't think i would ever get this far off opiates

god will see you through. keep the faith. greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world. my husband just came home from a christian rehab. the sleep is  the last thing to come back. he was awake for about 3 weeks straight amazing what the body can endure. please dont use any narcotics to sleep will only prolong your wd. keep praying to make your
spirit stronger. god will give you peace and rest.
will pray for you.

Its certainly been rough by the way you describe it but things will begin to get better each passing day.      After 8 years,   the withdrawls are terrible but your situation will improve as the days and weeks go forward.       Wishing you all the best.
