Welcome! I hope you don’t feel too bad. Are
you getting medical attention? If you start feeling very bad please check with a dr.
Welcome Robert to the forum! Glad ur here with us 
Well done mate. I’m on Day 17 and feel much better already. Gotta battle through that first week or so. I’m still having some symptoms now but the first full scale withdrawal symptoms seems lesser now. If I can do it, and I’m useless, you can totally do it!!

Welcome to the community!
WOW - good for you Robert - I am so sorry that you are dealing with withdrawals. Are they manageable or do you think you need medical support?
Keep at it my friend - it does get easier and better. I find that being active in this community has been truly helpful in keeping me away from my DOC’s. The community is full of support, advice and great distractions when the urges hit. A no judgement zone where you are among friends going through similar struggles.
Wishing you well and hope to see you around.

Welcome bro! I’m only a week in but it gets better after the first few days. If your withdrawals get crazy bad you should check in with a medical professional just to make sure you’re okay but if it’s manageable just know that once it passes it’s a lot better!
