Hi, I’m nearly 8 weeks clean now. I had been taking them on and off for about 10 years, but last year it was out of hand and I was taking 20-25 30mg of codeine a day!
Hopefully if you weren’t taking as much for as long it may not take as long for you to recover.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, I was having to look after my poorly mum at the beginning of my withdrawal, all whilst looking after my daughter and pets. I felt like I was letting everyone down. But they told me I didn’t.
I spent many days in tears too, felt like I was losing my mind. But it soon gets easier, hang on in there.
