Morning fellow recovery people,

Another week, I checked to see how you guys were getting on?

For me it’s been fairly up and down, I can’t really get into my head how much taking these tablets were causing SO much chaos without being aware.

I think they should be banned from over the counter purchase but noone cares, before I did CT I do remember driving from Chemist to Chemist searching for Co Codamol 32s.

If I’d thought about it honestly there were boxes and boxes of standard pain relief, why no Co Codamol?

Because 1000s of us are addicted to it, and it goes on and on.

I’m still struggling if I was honest but sometimes I wake up early and before the ‘world’ kicks in I feel so happy so positive so much better.

I believe these tablets masked my problems, addiction to drink coping with my job and my marriage it was my go to crutch?

I do now remember doing a week long training course and dropping the tablets every few hours and other colleagues mentioning the fizzy water.

Saying all this, I’m never going back, I’m proud of myself proud if you guys are staying clean.

Please stay positive stay safe
