I can't cope
I am 1 day clean and the withdrawals and cravings for heroin are awful I feel alone this fight I have no support except for the drug and alcohol service I got to but my keyworker is on leave till next week, I have no one to reach out, I feel so unwell I can't sleep, I'm nauseous, my body is killing me, I'm anxious, sweating, shaking, nose is running, diarrhea etc it's awful I would really love to talk to someone who understands and maybe can give me some advice as to what to do because I have no one now my keyworker isn't on
I'm so sorry you're going through this. It takes a lot of strength to reach out for support, even when it feels like there's no one around. First of all, congratulations on being 1 day clean - that's a huge achievement, and you should be proud of yourself. Remember that withdrawal symptoms are temporary, and they will start to improve with time. Try to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or herbal tea, and eat small, nutritious meals if you can. Taking a warm bath or shower might help ease some of the physical discomfort, and practicing deep breathing or meditation can help with anxiety.
