What is your doc
Heroin
Opiates for me also first 2 weeks are miserable
Amy, ya the insomnia is a real pain! But know it will pass.
Try laying down, closing your eyes and silently counting each breath. Increments of 30. Then repeat until you fall asleep.
My mind races with crazy thoughts and the counting of breaths helps override the thoughts.
Early sobriety especially detox is intense.
I’ll be praying for you

Oh sweetie, i’m so sorry you’re going through this! It is intense and very painful! 
Danny W’s post is a great idea for you to try. I agree with him. You are in my prayers honey, stay strong.

From alcohol. I did a deep dive on the Sinclair Method. There are a lot of fantastic hypnosis podcasts that helped. Although, I have a reoccurring dream (I own a vintage clothing store) that I’m at an estate sale of a shop and I continually accidentally knock antique breakable pieces off of shelves…accidentally kick them. Ruining expensive antiques. It’s insane. Sometimes I think it’s really happened. I can’t possible go through detox again. I don’t feel great at AA, at least at my town. I’ve been working on fixing my bigger issue.
It’s tough, but you’re tougher. When we’re detoxing, we don’t wanna eat or drink, but those are vital to how fast you will recover. Stay hydrated and eat dense foods proteins. Get the electrolytes back up. And most importantly, make sure emotionally or supported. Like posting or sending a message to somebody. You’re gonna get through this and when you do, you’re gonna feel so much better, hang in there.
It’s okay to get medical help!
