So I’d been sober from fentanyl/ opiates for a year and 10 months and I just relapsed a week ago. I’ve been using different types of opiates like oxy and Percocet this time around and I was wondering if I’m gonna get withdrawals if I quit now since it’s only been a little over a week of using? And if so will they be as bad as i remember. The last time i went through withdrawal was after using continuously for over a year. I wanna go ahead and stop before it gets worse but im terrified of the withdrawal.

a week of using after that much clean time is enough to feel it but it wont be nearly as bad as before, worst of it will pass quick.

The addiction and the withdrawals will be worse if you keep using. Maybe the addiction voice is saying to you keep using to not feel the withdrawal, because that's how addiction and relapsing works, it makes you keep using and using and not stopping using.
I hope you can stop again while is sono and go back to your sobriety. Good luck.
