You are very brave and I applaud you for making the decision to quit it all. I tried to quit it all but my depression and anxiety were too much to bear so I decided I would rather be an addict. The problem with that is, you lose sight of who you really are and everything becomes a haze.
Good for you!
You have to give it time. Give it a good few months before you are back to 'normal'. Google 'Paws' if you don't already know about it. Paws is a depression that comes after opiate abuse.
I hope you have a support network in place. This is crucial to your recovery.
Also, maybe ask the doctor if there is anything he can give you to help cope with initial withdrawals?
Also, Kratom can be used to cope with opiate withdrawals but only in small amounts and for a short period of time.
Re Kratom, - it is not legal in every country so you will need to check on that first if you decide to go down that road.
Best of luck

I do actually use Kratom and I have found it to be helpful mostly for the physical withdrawals. It doesn't do much for my mood and I'm at a weird crossroad where my smaller, usual dose doesn't help anymore but slightly increasing it makes me feel so hungover within hours.
I don't have a big support system with this issue. It is one of my dearest relatives who is actually enabling it.

I know I should "just say no" but it is so hard.
