Drug Addiction: Methadone & Heroin Facts

Question: What is it like to go through cold turkey for drug addiction?

I would like detail in relation to the mental and physical pain that people go through. And personal experiences to do with thoughts and feelings at the time. The way you moved, walked, talked, as much detail as possible. What made you take this drastic decision? did it work? How did it feel? Im supposed to play a drug addict putting himself through cold turkey for an Drama exam monologue. PLEASE help! :)

It's somewhere you don't want go, so don't play that game. You're going to be cold even though you're sweating, you will shake involuntary while your body becomes wracked with cramp. You wont be able to stop vomiting and you will be turning yellow as the hepatitis sets in. The knot in your stomach will be twisting so tight that you want to cry, but that wont stop the pain and if that isn't enough I can go on, but like I say don't go there.

Once I played Halo so much that I couldn't feel my hands and my dad came up to me and said "David you have to stop using the Halo box " and I said no and he gave me drugs and some turkey.
