# yes with gods help you can beat this addiction
The usual features of opioid withdrawal after a person who has used the drug on a heavy and prolonged basis abruptly stop using are as follows:

Dysphoric (emotional state characterised by anxiety, depression, and restlessness) mood and distress;
Yawning;
Nausea and vomiting;
Diarrhoea;
Muscle aches; and
Insomnia

The speed of onset of these symptoms is usually between 6-12 hours for heroin, reaching peak intensity between 48-72 hours and then diminishing over a period from 5-7 days.
