Make sure you are eating healthy. That's rule 1. Yes I have seen stuff as you say "demonic" or "spiritual" which to me is a sensitive issue. I'm on day 5 any trying to get back into god etc. Seems like if we are dealing with drug addictions, religious beliefs, or really anything in life for us. We have to confront and deal with those demons sooner than later.

How are you this morning? I'm really proud of your effort to get healthy!

I'd say what you're feeling is not unusual and should pass quickly. Insomnia makes it worse so take something for sleep...ALTERIL is an OTC and works for a lot of people.

Are you eating? Drinking? It's important to force fluids; you don't want to get dehydrated. Also, try Motrin for the aches.

Stay in touch; you're doing great! (Even though it doesn't feel like you are!)

Hi there and congrats on your three days!

The demons that you are seeing is not an uncommon thing.  I've read a lot of detox stories on this forum in the past 3 years and people often hallucinate and hear and see things.  This can also be a result of a type of sleep paralysis that happens when we detox.  We've put our bodies and brains through hell with the drugs and all kinds of things surface as they are healing.  It is definitely time for you to start thinking about aftercare for your recovery.  If God is an important part of this for you then that is a great place to start.
Whatever you do, keep moving forward.  A bright and happy clean future is yours for the taking.
Keep us posted.
