I got clean a few years ago, and I'm glad I did. Feel so bad for everyone who's going to suffer as a result of this, opiate withdrawals are no joke. That shit can break even the toughest people. I'll always remember my first time going through that, to this day I get a vague sense of panic just thinking about it.

There's a reason why they call it kicking the habit, by the way. You become incredibly restless, especially your legs. You can't help but constantly move your legs around. So even if you could make it past the anxiety and insomnia that already come with the withdrawals, this makes it impossible to relax.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you could just sleep through it, but you can't. You'll be lucky to get more than a couple hours of sleep in the first three days. Just absolutely hellish.

Solidarity to all of our comrades suffering from addiction out there.
