	how long does opiate withdrawal last? I have been off of them for 6 days. I was taking them every day for about the last 6 months. Tomorrow makes 1 week that I will have been off of them. I don't have the cravings nearly as much now. I am just REALLY uncomfortable. I have NO desire to go back, I just wanted to know about how long I will be feeling this way. Thanks!
