Hi guys, just checking in. Day 5 – OMG I am actually starting to feel human and see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel! Never thought I would be able to see a future without codeine, but I do now. This has been rough but it’s passing.
Hope you’re all doing okay, thank you again for your advice and support. ❤️❤️❤️
Day 3 – I’m still going!! Really tough today – actually popped out a couple of cocodamol, knowing if I just took them I’d feel better – but I threw them away! One of the hardest things I’ve ever done (only people who have experienced this would understand!) feeling utter crap but I’m still here! When does this ease off? ????????
Thank you so much for your words of support, they really do help! ❤️
Day 1 cold turkey- urgh! This is hard, I’m struggling. That devil voice telling me ‘you’d feel so much better if you just took some pills – this uncomfortable feel would just go away…’ it’s tempting but I’m staying strong! Feeling pretty rotten, can’t concentrate, sore head, sniffly and a good dose of the runs! (You weren’t joking about Imodium!!) However I hate those white pills with a passion!! I’m going to keep going!! ????????????????
Hey all, I’m new here but I am so delighted to have found this site! I’ve been addicted to codeine for nearly 10yrs and have decided that now is the time to stop. I work in healthcare and if I don’t get a handle on my life I will lose my job, house – everything really. My usage is really heavy, easily taking 360mg in one dose and it doesn’t even touch the sides. I’ve tried to taper but it always just leads to me increasing my usage again, so I’m going to just stop. (I’m not going to lie – I’m pretty terrified!!)
No one in my family or friends knows, but I’m going to tell my Dad. I think it’ll be important to have someone to help me through this. Reading through this forum and everyone’s experiences has been pretty inspirational – I hope some of it can rub off on me!
