Hey,
Relapse can happen ( more like a little blip in the road) but you caught yourself in time and stopped. That’s an amazing achievement so don’t be hard on yourself!
I think stress, worry and some life events can make you think you need codeine. It’s your brain tricking you from its previous memory. Sometimes it’s so strong, you can give in but ultimately it’s about bouncing right back which you did. I think finding a coping mechanism is the key to staying away permanently. That can be hard to do but once you find it, codeine isn’t needed in those harder moments.
I hope you’re doing ok now. It’s day 13 so hopefully you’re feeling bit better!
Wishing you all the best,
