ive come off it cold turkey licked myself in my room for the best part of the week and seen it out in bed- absolutely horrible experience but coming out the other end

im on day 12 now and in exhaisted and devoid of any energy

but mentally in a much better place

i started being prescribed cocodamol 30/500mg 3 years ago for my shoulder and neck injuries- i discovered inloved how it made me feel and took my anxiety and any depressive episodes away

last year i lost two important family members and the intake crept up was mixing prescribed codeine with dihydracodeine id get from people i knew

i went from being the fun outgoing one of my circle to the worhdrawn quiet one sittingbin the corner avoiding all my usual hobbies i enjoyed

after some words from concerned pals i decided enough was enough

the last twelve days have been torture but day by day gets ever so slightly easier! just wish this tiredness and exhaustion would kindly bugger off ????
