Hey!

I totally understand what you are going through, fellow codeine addict here who is in recovery!

Do you have support around you? I know for sure I couldn’t have beaten the addiction without support and also attending meetings.. in my opinion the physical withdrawals only last around 5 days and that’s the easy part!

The mental withdrawals are hard, depression, anxiety etc and that’s when the support comes in.. is there anyway you could attend N/A meetings? Even listening online can be really good.

Codeine is a horrible addiction but there is help, an you talk to your GP? They won’t cut off your prescription but maybe do a slow taper down… get your liver checked also!! Paracetamol is hard on the liver.

Please keep in touch and I will help anyway I can!
