Hi well you are a addict and with that said you need to treat it...The desire to get clean has to exceed the desire to get high for this to work reading your post im not sure where you stand this is a deadly game your playing I to tried many different things but it wasent till I hit the rooms of Na that recovery started if your willing to be honest with yourself this program works   many of our members go ..we will help you threw the detox but that is the ez part  living life on lifes terms without a chemical can be difficult google N/a and try a few meetings  you wont be alone any more  this is a we thing not a I thing the only way to do this wrong is trying to do it alone we all want to see you make it but to truly find recovery takes work....

usually 4-7 days  BUT the more times you go through withdrawal the worse it gets.  
so, if you are just going into withdrawal while you wait to find some and then you continue to do that then you are in for a brutal time.

i know you have probably heard it before, but you really need therapy to find the root of your addiction.  clearly you have a hard time dealing with life without a substance.  
that is why all of us addicts use. well, most of us.  

you cannot constantly live like this.  

are you seeing a therapist or going to AA??  although i don't believe AA is going to help you get past the reason you use

Welcome to our forum.  Could you please tell us what strength you were taking, how many per day and for how long?  Once we have that information we'll have a better idea of what you are looking at in terms with WD's.
