Wishing you kindness, strength and best wishes. I am admitting to myself that things have gotten really out of hand with my codeine usage. What started as something to legitimately help with migraine pains years ago turned into daily usage for the last two years now, up to 4-600mg a day at the worst. Absolutely mad numbers. I have felt deep shame and embarrassment let alone the financial factor. But this is the time to admit it pen to paper and come out loud to say I am turning a page. I am going on my sobriety journey. I am terrified about what is to come in terms of symptoms and withdrawal effects but I am encouraged by the fact I am not alone. Peace and love to all.
