Hi Addiction2205

As long as the amount you took yesterday is still less than before then that is a good thing. Small positive steps massively help.

I have not found the physical side effects half as bad as what I thought, I really feel it is fear of the unknown

Work really helps me as it keeps my mind occupied and I have been keeping a diary on my notepad on my phone to help me look at it objectively

I understand what you mean about work as codeine has always been my “go to” thing when I am stressed etc . But the more I think about it now the more I am slowly realising that codeine is the main cause of it.

I am only on day 3 and from what I have read the physical side effects only last 4 days or so here’s to hoping.

I hope this message finds you well and you are having a better day.

You can do this, everything just starts with one small step

Let me know how you get on if you want

Take care

Good Morning Addiction 2205

How you getting on this morning?

Thanks for your kind words, it’s so much easier when you feel like you are not on your own!!

Well done for keep going to work – that can only be a good thing. Good luck for today and honestly I promise you feel better mentally after a codeine free day. It has to start somewhere, little

, tiny steps. I am not holding out much hope but here’s to day two.

Good luck for today and let me know how you get on

Take care

Hi Addiction 2205

I think it sounds like you are thinking positive and that can only be a good thing.

If you don’t have any readily available then it might be easier because you have time to think about what you are doing if you have to go to a pharmacy to buy some.

Having less can only be a good thing and try to keep busy. Work has helped massively today as I am kept really busy but not looking forward to later when I have to go sleep.

I don’t mind you asking at all, I usually take between about 700mg a day but depends on how I am feeling sometimes less, sometimes more.

I can’t reduce the dose as I don’t think that would work for me so just stopping altogether as I feel quick results will make me feel better.

I agree forums like this help and I am sure you can do it again like last time.

Hope you getting on ok, take care

Hi Addiction 2205

Thanks so much, means a lot to know that there are other people like me.

Just because you have taken some this morning doesn’t mean you can’t stop today.

If the ones you have already taken are the only ones you take today well that is a massive step towards day one and a massive success.

I believe you can do this. We just go to start somewhere

Keep me posted and take care
