I can say to be careful though because in my experience each time you try to quit the WD's are worse than they were last time...anyone else agree?

I 100% agree... I've come off of opiates a number of times (four)... The first two times were really not that bad-- flu like symptoms for a short period which resolved quickly, leaving me feeling like a million bucks after acute withdrawal had passed. The latest two times have been much worse. The second to last time should have tipped me off as I had a brush with PAWS despite tapering quite a bit... It was still manageable however. This latest time, which I'm still in the midst of, is a different experience altogether. The acute withdrawal was pretty unpleasant, but the real story is the goddamn PAWS. I'm about three weeks in right now and am struggling immensely still. I'm alright for most of the time, but the second I experience any kind of stress things get downright unbearable. I really hope this ends soon. I've certainly learned my lesson.

Moral of the story: withdrawal definitely gets worse each time you experience it. Just because you got off relatively easy in the past doesn't mean your body won't be shocked by it the next time.
 
Withdrawls are generally blown out of proportion by weak minded people who make excuses to themselves to get the next hit. Formor five bag a day user speaking.

I agree, but only partially. Here's where I stand: Withdrawals are highly unpleasant and often seemingly unbearable, however, just about anybody possesses the willpower necessary to get through them. I also believe that while withdrawals are miserable, they do not come close to justifying the crimes many people commit in order to get their next hit.
 
I totally agree with both the above statements, with one caveat. Like I said, I never used WD as a reason for not quitting and definitely never did any fucked up shit to get drugs, guess I'm the only long time junkie who hasn't. Made a lot of mistakes with my own shit(but never someone else's), one time even got fired from a job because I couldn't work because of WD's. Either I had my dope with my money or I suffered the consequences, and I've gone through WD's more times than I could even come close to remembering.

I don't know if the number of times I've detoxed has made it worse, or just the length of addiction. I was hoping the opposite, any extra time clean has got to be better as far as brain plasticity. Surely detoxing every couple months is better than keeping a yearlong habit as far as increasing the effects of WD, in the long run; of course the yearlong detox would be worse, I mean future WD symptoms.
