How often do you go through withdrawls

What kind of withdrawal?

I take valium throughout the week, and then binge drink on Friday-Saturday. Less of a half life from the alcohol means that by Sunday night I'm pretty fucking jittery/anxious/nervous/fried. Too much GABA, kill the GABA!

I've never had physical withdrawals from opiates but I've come close, using 3x a week for a month or two...

The one time I C/Ted from long term benzo usage, I was drinking daily until I resumed the benzos, so thankfully I don't think I've technically experienced benzo withdrawals.
 
IV Heroin WD

All the way through or how often do I WD?

Most weeks I would wake up considerably sick 3-4 days a week. Sometimes it was only 2, sometimes it was more like 6. This was largely because "the next day I was going to start sub" so if I was more sick in the morning I would be more likely to take sub because it would be harder to wait to get money or get out to get dope. That was the theory at least. Unfortunately it just made me sick many mornings and then a rush to get dope in me as soon as possible since I pretty much couldn't do anything else without it. Definitely couldn't eat breakfast or go to work. Had absolutely zero interest and no motivation to do anything else, even hitting a bowl of weed seemed pointless. So I would just lay in bed sick as fuck until I could go get dope.

It was a pretty rare occurrence, but the worst days were when I was already to the point of vomiting. Trying to vomit and drive at the same time is difficult. Then there was always this rush to get the syringe loaded before I threw up again. Sometimes I'd have it all loaded, but couldn't hold it in and had to puke first. Painful, painful stomach aches then too. Fortunately once I pushed the plunger down it was a mere seconds before I felt relief.

During a decade of use I've been through 3 benzo withdrawals, all fucking terrible, 6 opiate withdrawals, even worse and then we have the one fucking withdrawal from gabapentin that I just could not manage and probably never will.
 
I used to all the time. Every morning, wake up, feel too much pain, and felt like shit due to restless legs when I had a heroin habit. Never had diarrhea, because I'm fortunate to have a box of immodium to prevent super soaker shits.

When I did meth, I would be wired 3-5 days a week, crashed, slept for 2-3 days, wake up and hit the needle again.

Not anymore though. I keep my recreational heroin and meth use only on the weekends now, because I've noticed how much daily use has impacted my past jobs, my family, my money, and my sanity. Also, it's because I don't ever want to go through withdrawal- again. I tell myself that I don't need it but I would like a rewarding treat for tackling the work week.
 
Every Friday morning waiting on the ever slothlike dope-lady to bring my medicine. She deals with everyone of her customers on payday and they're usually spending more than my gram of heaven. It's not too bad though. Remember, NO SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL!!!
 
Terrible life, having that awful feeling of obligation you must do it. I can´t figure why, but some of us just keep on going. I did it for so long.
Hopefully this one was my last.
 
I spent 2 years putting off withdrawals, ahh god what a nightmare that was…. with Heroin. Stims didn't effect me that way physically of course but they brought an intense mental suffering for like 15 years or so in my 20's.

Right now I'm dealing with some caffeine, trying to cut down…

You´ve won this battle Smoky!
I´m still trying and focus on getting further where I hope better feelings will replace the ones I have now.
Some posts just opened my eyes to a lot of BS I was telling to myself for years.

I felt I was living connected to tubes. It was not a life. I can´t say I´m a very happy person now, but I feel free.
Not as happy as I had wished for, but free.

I had never really trusted in myself and was so manipulative in creating reasons to postpone.
What a nightmare it really was.
Congratulations to all!

I think withdrawing once a week keeps me "in check " if you would. Besides the elevated cortisol levels that come with it, it seems healthier than ALWAYS being toasty.
 
I get my script of oxy at the beginning of each month. No matter how many promises I make to myself to make it last the whole month, it does not. After 10 days or so, its gone. I feel shitty for a couple of days and then just survive. By the time I start to function pretty well, its a new month and a new script. Life cycles....
 
Every single morning. Fuck My Life. Actually lately I've been using kratom to bridge the gap. It's worked pretty wel at keeping withdraws at bay. I've even taken breaks to keep tolerance down. Now those damn cravings. There's no relief for that.

I'm hoping that if I can transition to sub I can avoid that for a little while.

The last 2-3 months or so, I've had to get up between 7 and 9 to walk my dog. About 75% of those walks I was WDing, sometimes pretty hard. It was pretty miserable and that was in the summer with sunshine and actual heat. I am tired of that for sure.
 
I usually W/D every thursday and fri until I get off work fri afternoon with a pay check. It's sad....really really sad. I live at home now, have no bills other than car insurance and cell phone (120 USD/month), and make 700-800 USD a week and I'm broke as hell by Wednesday every week.
 
I was usually set for thursday (payday) up till about monday morning. It was actually having to go into work at 9am with no hope of getting anything because i already begged my mom for money under the whole "ill get on methadone tomorrow i promise" but i did and it was the best thing ever. But that is basically how it was getting. On that particular week i borrowed money from all 3 of the higher managers at the small business i work for my friends that woudl and finally my mom i had decided i was already broke from clearing my debts on payday it was time to get clean again. I may not have "wanted to" like it was because it was getting to hard to maintain but that was a good enough reason as i never went back now i have no desire to.

But it was getting to the point i was pretty much gaurenteed to be in w/d when i got to work tuesday morning. To the point where i would be borrowing money and begging for like 1 bag to come to my job, it was definitely getting out of hand and i cant beleive people would allow me to borrow money especially since i told everyone i was getting clean 2 years before this, they didnt know i relapsed but i went from having money to suddenly being broke and "taking early lunches" and all this weird stuff once people gave me money. My guess is if it didnt get noticeably better quickly my managers would have said something.

Those were terrible days. The time before the relapse was never that bad i would never use before bed and wake up in pain i use to get like 18 hours so i would be fine for work but this was like 12/16 hours i would get sick and those few hours made all the difference. It is no way to live and i am so glad methadone fixed everything in record time :)
