Help please. Day 6 of opiate withdrawal.

Hello all. I would just like to say I'm on day 6 of opiate withdrawal. A little back ground I'm 26 female who needs to use daily. Ive been addicted to any kind of opiate for the last 4 years. I Bang (IV) anything from oxy, methadone, morphine, and heroine anything that I can get my hands on for the day. I've tried to quit numerous times over the last year but fail every time. I'm sick of pawning my precious items being broke everyday waking up feeling like **** and only caring about my next fix. I never thought I would grow up and be a drug addict. I don't really have a support system which is why I am here. My friends and family have no idea so rehab is not an option also I have a really good job that would let me go if they knew I had a drug problem. So quitting on my own is the only way. Every time
I try to quit I make it to day 6 and cave :( ... I guess I'm just really looking for someone to talk to and give hope. I'm sorry if I am rambling and my post is hard to follow my head is all over the place and I have gotten very little sleep these last 6 days. I appreciate anyone's comments. Thank you. AA

Thanks guys ... I know I'm gonna have pain withdrawing .. But the whole stomach pain is more then it should be ... I've noticed the heating pad works the best so I'm gonna stick with that ... I hope your right about it getting better soon ... I've been trying to eat something everyday because I thought about having just vitamins on a empty stomach before I started withdrawing ... I hope the probiotics work.. My diet wasn't amazing but it wasn't horrible either ... Not a fan of junk food and I don't drink soda .. So I think I ate pretty decent. Yes the bloating and stomach pains are still here :/

Hi Ashleigh :)

Congratulations on hanging in there. It'll start getting better soon (promise). I think it's possible that if you haven't been eating that much that the vitamins might be hurting your stomach. (It happens sometimes). Also, I'm not sure what your diet was like before. I think the probiotics are a great idea. The ensure might help until this eases. Let us know how it's going. Are you still 'bloating'? I'm so sorry that you're going through this additional symptom. ;(
