Withdrawal from opiates

Was able to sleep last night. Woke up and felt ok for about one minute until It started again. Restless legs bad. I put on compression stockings, miracle for the restless legs! Took 1 bath and 4 showers yesterday. Funny thing happened, walked downstairs and washing machine flooded downstairs, 1 inch of water everywhere! Had family help with the mess. I made it through, no opiates!!! No turning back now :)))

Thanks guys! This forum is all I got right now to keep my mind off the discomfort. Reallife, my last detox someone gave me a 20 mg shot of methadone thinking it would help my withdrawals from lortab. All it did was prolong my detox 3-4 extra days. Was sick for 9-12 days before. So hopefully I only have a couple days of the real bad WD's. I know methadone is worse :(
