Hi ya,

Day 27 and I’m just slightly on the rollercoaster on the down but I’m not giving up.

This is really strange I woke up feeling my old self before taking the dreaded tablets and its like a snake that creeps up on you.

I’ve told you I’ve been taking soloedeine for 40 years not really ever stopping and perhaps wrongly I’ve decided to go cold turkey.

But it’s now or never as I’m 66 in 8 weeks time I need to best this.

I have a few issues with ibs and had it for 7 years and this withdraw has really triggered lower stomach pain.

I’ve tried to drink energy drinks to help the withdraw but that has given me other issues.

I know I will beat this because I HAVE to finally but I really wish 40 years ago I could have slapped myself in the face when I took the first two tablets.

Stay strong
