Hi there,

Just checking in on e everyone?

Well I’m still maintaining being free from those tablets and I have reached 290 days free as I have an app on my phone now.

I have to be honest the last weeks have been tough as I went to the doctors and they prescribed some worse tablets than co codamol for withdraw I was only on them 6 weeks but my god they were brutal.

But I am coming out the other end, I sometimes wonder if (doctors) care? I get they are busy but drug withdraw is horrific and there is no support apart from you doing it yourself with support from people on here and family members.

I wonder if the whole world is completely bonkers now I can’t seem to see much “light”.

But we must carry on and yes I do feel better and the time has flown by I know it woukd be easy to hive up but I just need to “do it” for myself.

I ended up at A&E with a unrelated problem and the Dr on duty was so stunned with what I have achieved and said you need a medal and made me feel good, yet my own GP?

Anyway you can do it we can do it let’s DO IT
