Well done Rigel, thanks for sharing and wishing you continued success over the coming days, weeks. I found myself in a similar position 15yrs ago, prescribed 30/500 codine from my doctors and took a lot every day, I took a tapering approach and I’m not on 9 N+ tablets a day, dropping to 8 in the next week or so. It’s been a journey and so common for so many people. It runs everything in your life. I absolutely agree with you regarding family support, I told my wife a couple of years ago and she’s stood by me and keeps me in check. Can’t do it without her and I felt lying to her was just as bad if not worse.
It’s good to be in touch with others going through the same.
