Hi everyone.
Day 9 is still early days so don’t expect too much – it is a slow burn rather than a raging fire! I’m not sure how long everyone has been taking codeine based medication , whether it be OTC (as I was) or prescribed mediation, but the way I see it is after having taken N+ for in excess of 5 years my body needs to recalibrate itself after my abusing it everyday for those 5 + years – it really helped me to think of it in this way and try to feel your body and mind going through a healing process – I couldn’t expect to feel right after 2 weeks.
Each day you are moving further along the road after having tossed those pills away and the further away you are from them the more you will feel like the “real” you.
Now don’t get me wrong this is not easy and I have had my cravings – I used to take 22-24 N+ every morning with my cup of coffee! It became a deeply ingrained dependency! It set me up for the day, but it wasn’t real, it was a chemical state of mind. So, yes in the mornings (not every morning) I do have some cravings but the longer I have stopped taking the pills the easier it is for me to bat those cravings away in my head. I can only speak for myself and we are all unique but that has been my experience. Remember tomorrow is a new day and we are further along the road to recovery ????
