    I know I am like a week late, but holy shit physical withdrawal can be unfathomably brutal. I literally thought about killing myself, just so I dont have to go through it again. You are in a constant state of thinking it is impossible to take it any second longer. And once you’ve made it through acute withdrawals and you think you’ve made it - nope - welcome to post acute withdrawals, motherfucker. You’re going to feel like shit for months.

    Edit: Opioids and alcohol in my case.

        If I hadn’t been given benzos and been monitored 24/7 in a hospital I probably would have died. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you alone, not to mention poly withdrawal.

        Edit: Also a delir is the most disgusting feeling ever, worse than physical pain imo.
