Hello all,

I’ve been reading this forum on and off for 3/4 years now. It helped immensely when I was trying to abstain after my previous giving up attempt but alas, I relapsed about 3 years ago. I’ve managed over the past 6 months to taper from NP x 12-15 per day to ‘just’ 8/500 co-codamol x 6 a day. I wasn’t planning on stopping but I had a few days booked off and was just fed up of the pharmacy nonsense so I decided to give it a go and so far I’m on day 7 and it hasn’t been too bad physically. Mentally, who knows, quite often and with hindsight I see my behaviour was odd but at the time I have no idea. I haven’t spoke to anyone, this forum is my crutch, as it was the last time. This time there will be success only.

Peace to you all.
