How to manage withdrawals?

@arcticSquare665 For the sake of your own body, it is recommended that you seek the help of a doctor, or to quit because they do not bring you real happiness, so it is not a good thing, quit them normally, your life is still very long.

You need to go to detox. And if you can stay the full 30days or residential but at minimum detox. I know it feels scary and probably the last answer you want but it is the only way through to the other side and from a 2mo sober standpoint I can tell you life is so much better on this side. I quit my 3yr addiction by going to detox for a week, still had minor WD for a solid month but nothing bad and nothing you can’t handle. We make detox out to be so much worse in our heads but they give you comfort meds check vitals etc you will be okay I promise. You can take medical leave from work also and if you only stay for detox then go to meetings when you get out if you have any cravings. You got this !! The hardest part is making the choice to GO and get out of that ***.

@arcticSquare665 totally agree with the two other responders: this is not something that you can do alone. it needs medical support, even an outpatient clinic, that is supplemented by regular meetings where you can talk with people who will support you. This is what I had to do when i realised that I could never achieve the full detox by myself, the cravings and a triggering event would converge and I'd slip back to square one, and that each time trying and failing was hurting my body and my mind. The point is that this is not the kind of thing that can be done by halves, so it requires a commitment to treatment.
