Hi how are you doing with your road to recovery?
Huge well done to you, 8 days is an enormous achievement and you rightly should be proud.
Remember why you want to be clean, keep that as your driving force.
If the mental withdrawal gets too much talk to your doctor, dont suffer in silence or worse go back to your old friend!!
I know exactly how your feeling as I’m in this situation myself.
Good luck and kept us updated x
I just dont drive past them anymore, and dont get me wrong I did use to think about it during the first few days ig the physical withdrawal as it would have been so much easier to have just gone to the chemist and bought them, but I desperately wanted to be clean and rid of this poison once and for all so willpower and determination and reading other peoples journies on this forum was a huge help
I’m not gonna lie I started taking sertraline again when the mental withdrawal began, I was absolutely consumed with anxiety and a real low feeling but again luckily it either only lasted about a week or the anti depressants were helping?
Dont get me wrong I’m 22 days clean and feel like I’m slowly coming out of the other side, however I still wake up a crave the tablets granted it’s less and less each day but not sure if that feeling ever goes away?
Where are you in your journey? If I can help you in anyway please feel free to share your comments as I know first hand what an awful yet silent addiction this is.
Good luck and God bless x
Hi
I was too addicted to nurofen plus and 30mg codeine taking far too many. At least 32 nurofen a day and codeine on top! It got really bad and I was like this for years.
I too am a mam to 3, and was sick of living this way.
I had attempted to stop previously and tapered down however it never really worked for me I just felt like my withdrawal effects lasted the whole time.
Today I am 21 days clean and done it cold Turkey. It wasnt easy but keep what your doing it for at your forefront and it helps you stay on track, along with the support on this forum.
The physical withdrawal only lasts about 5- 6 days, you can do this, and were here to help keep you going.
Good luck with your recovery
