Why do you have stomach cramps or why did the withdrawal last for such a short amount of time? I'll answer both just to cover both bases:

The reason you're having stomach cramps is because narcotics, especially morphine, acts on the digestive tract through the opioid receptors there. This is what causes constipation with various opiate medication. Your body is resetting which can cause all kinds of things to go haywire and stomach cramps are a normal W/D symptom.

If you're wondering why your withdrawal was so mild compared to other cases where they were taking less and had worse symptoms thank God you did. It's not known why some people's W/D is worse than others, but there have been cases of patients on high amounts of Morphine that had no symptoms whatsoever when they quit. It isn't known why this phenomenon occurs, but count yourself lucky and do your best to stay off of them.
