Wow what a great topic, very interesting! Now I see why you’re a moderator Hat 
I truley belive the severity of withdrawl
is mental.
I talk about mental discaplin all the time, this is a big factor in how I’ve aquired it. By having to endure withdrawl without
people around me knowing. It’s partially because I’ve never been one to complaine about a lot of things, or show that I’m in
pain.
This was back when I was doing dope, and those are some of the worst withdralws. Now, I can apply this to when I begin tapering my suboxone, and eventually jump off it. I’ve recently had to apply it while transitioning from methadone to suboxone. I was told to wait at least 4 days(less or more depending on my metabolizm) I’ve always had a very fast metabolizm, but I sure didn’t wanna risk going into precipitated withdrawl, and we all know the horrendus half life of methadone.
So on day 4 I was in pretty bad shape, but it’s not like I was curled up in a ball, throwing up and shitting on myself. Even though some of the worst symptoms for me are lower back pain, and lack of energy and motivation during withdrawl(we all have the same symptoms, just some we find worse then others) I was still able to muster the courage to get outside and screw around with the dog, and the garden and whatever. At least get up and do something.
When I wasa trying to kick dope, I would always force myself to get up and get moving, hard as that was it always put me in a better mood, and more positive state of mind, not to mention it helped tons with the physical dicomfort.
Your mind is the most powerful thing you have. Did you know monks are actually able to raise their body temperature to the point where if they sit in a freezing room, and you throw wet towles on their backs, you will see steam rising from them because they are so warm. I’ve seen it on a documentry. It’s fucking insane.
You can basically "force" yourself, or train your mind endure withdralws. Thats what people usually mean by "push through" being sick. We all have it in us, we just have to do it.
Man has created and done AMAZING, incomprehendable things in the past, present and will be into the future. We put men on the moon, built crafts that can withstand the amazing forces of our atmosphere. If man can do that, we can surley overcome these stupid rediculus opiates. ALL of us. Thanks for listening guys!
