Your friend probably didn't die from heroin withdrawal, they probably overdosed on something else they used to take away the symptoms of withdrawal. I know you can die from alcohol withdrawal, but I'm pretty sure you can't die from heroin withdrawal.
There are two things that keep me using caffeine. I need to leave a window of 3 days for the headaches and sore skin and joints that I get from the withdrawal, and I value the little lift the drink gives me (even though I know it is probably simply alleviating the longer term caffeine-induced tiredness).
At this stage I am on track to giving caffeine up next week. Hopefully there will not be any visitors next Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
