You are. Just say NO before you can think of anything else. Then walk away or hang up.

Block your sources. Tell everyone you are quitting and do NOT want it around you, talked about or them coming around hi on it. If you have too, you will need to end relationships for those people to stay clean.

You can go this. I did it too. 10 days of ot. 14 till I felt good again. It's not too long. Sleep as much as possible. Drink water - lots. Hot baths for the pain. It will go away.

When I detoxed from heroin I was nauseous. I couldn't even hold down water for a day. Hydration is important so if you have to...take little sips of water throughout the day until you can hold it down. Hopefully you will start feeling better soon. The restlessness and anxiety will be the last to go. Hang in there, it gets better.

Hi & Welcome,

What you are experiencing is typical for Heroin withdrawal. I did it a few times and each time was the same..vomiting, shaking, rls, unable to sleep. That lasts about a week and then you will slowly begin to feel better. I know it seems hard but if you go back on the drugs it will get even harder the next time you detox. If you make it.

You can buy anti-nausea medication at the drug store. That will help. Also, be sure to stay hydrated since you are vomiting so much. It is important. Try Gatorade or even Chicken broth.

Again, I know how hard this is but you will be over it soon and able to go on with your life. Stick around here. This is a great place for support.

I came off pills, not H, but we have peeps on here who have. You'll hear from them. From what I've seen on here you WILL make it through. Just take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time and hang on to the willingness that you have right now. I don't know the duration of WDs but I do know that what you're going through is worth every bit of it to get your life back. There is hope and peace on the other end of what you're going through. Stay on here and keep posting.
