Hi all,  just thought I’d pop on and say well done to you all for getting off this stuff.

I’m now 22 weeks free from codeine. Creeping up to 6 months!

I was doing some research the other day as I’m mighty pissed of with the anxiety sometimes, and I suspect I may have PAWS although it’s hard to tell as I’ve always be a nervy type. But I read that PAWS can last between 6 months and 2 years, although the symptoms get less intense with time. But the bit that stuck out to me the most was that if you take any codeine whilst you are suffering from PAWS, that it in affect resets it so you have to start again! I thought if that doesn’t keep me clean then nothing will ???? It would make sense that I would have it, always been the lucky type ????

 

Keep going guys ????????????
