Smoking withdrawal ??????

To anyone that hasn't been following I quit smoking cold turkey six days ago. I was a heavy smoker of more than a pack a day for almost 20 years (sad because I'm only 30) I have been going through horrible withdrawals that are Actually just as bad as when I quit the opiates cold turkey three years ago. I barely get out of bed, I have no appetite, bad insomnia (although I did manage to sleep for a couple of hours on and off last night praise God) and experiencing horrible anxiety that makes me not want to go outside, answer my phone, or see and talk to anyone that I actually know. How much longer does anyone have good experience with this? Is it normal for a cold turkey heavy smoker to be feeling like this? Please let me know if you have any experience with smoking withdrawals like this. Thank you in advance.
