<p style=”text-align: left;”>Good evening to you all.</p>
It’s been a good while since I logged on here.
Good to read how well everyone is doing.
I first posted in this thread back in August 2023. When I done cold turkey. I done absolutely amazing right up until April 2024. Been diagnosed with chrons and during a flare I took some of those devil pills which I can’t not even believe 😭😭 last week I was reducing doses. But I never got as bad as last time with how many I was taking. I’m on day 4 and I have to say I’m not as bad as I thought id be.. Because last time was awful. I’m due to start treatment in the next 2 weeks so I’m hoping this is gonna work so I’m not in pain no more 🤞
Keep going everyone

Hi a1991 sounds like my story, none of my family knew about me with the devil pills. And still no1 knows now. Try and taper down if cold turkey don’t work for you. Take vitamins along with process. Make sure you keep busy. I done cold turkey wasn’t great but glad I did it. I’m now currently 13 weeks tomorrow and the start of this I never thought I’d get to day 7. You can do this keep posting on the thread to get you through the days
Wow markymark that’s so inspiring that you at that mark of being codiene free. Really does give me hope ???? your really are amazing. Well done
Sailsbury it’s hard when it’s only you know what your going through. As much as you wanna tell someone. I worry what they will think. But be proud of what your doing. Maybe in months or years to come you could tell them. But for me I’m so not ready to say anything. And it’s been nearly 10 weeks for me now off the opioid.
Hope your withdrawals have gone for you.
Hope everyone has a good day
Good afternoon everyone ????
So glad everyone is still pushing through and not giving up.
It’s all swings and roundabouts with the days…. But I’m having much more positive days… It’s so nice to naturally be laughing and finally releasing my own dopamine. My partner has totally seen a change in me and questions me how I’m so happy now to a few weeks ago. And I still can’t pick up the courage and tell him why…
Hope today is kind to everyone sending strength to you all

Good morning gang.
Sailsbury massive well done on getting to day 10 wow what an achievement for you. Can’t believe it’s been 10 days for u already. Hope your feeling OK. You are really smashing it.
Len hope your stomach is OK today. The drug messes you up in so many ways that you didn’t think it would. Took a while for my bowels to go back to normal and still now I don’t think it’s completely 100%
Hope u all have a great day and keep pushing through. You got this guys
<p style=”text-align: left;”>You should be proud of yourself sailsbury as you are smashing it… Your eating will return and once your back eating normal again that makes you better in itself. I found bananas helped me so much they would give me a boost of energy when I needed it. I found myself eating bananas all the time. Honestly before you know it you will be saying to us you done so many weeks it will fly by. Another day ticked off for you ???? well done</p>
Welcome sailsbury ???? a massive well done to you giving up those devil pills ams getting to day 6 already. I found myself reading all through these threads during withdrawl and like u said it helps so much. It does get you through it don’t it. I feel like day 6 for me was like yesterday and I’m now 8 weeks.. After the 1st 2 weeks the weeks go fast ???? and you won’t believe how far you have came… I keep saying to myself how have I got to 8 weeks. But I honestly feel like a different person for it. Hope the withdrawal are easing now for you. Day 5 and 7 I found the hardest.
Keep going you can do it.
Welcome len. Well done for getting to day 5.. Sleep is probably the worst part of it but you will find that 1 night going to bed you will just fall asleep and your pattern is all back to normal. The panic attack side don’t sound fun. Maybe worth a visit to gp maybe they can give you something as could be anxiety. It is a very dark thing but once your body get rid of it all you will start to improve and feel more you.
This is a good place to be on going through withdrawl. Does any family members know and do you have the support around you?
Good evening all,
I’m currently 8 weeks and still pushing through.
Well done access… I know that feeling well. It’s very odd sense of feeling ain’t it.
I really hope everyone is OK.
I got logged out again and couldn’t get back on for some reason. But finally back on again. It’s done it before too.
Thinking of you all going through this or thinking of giving it up.

You really can do it… Maybe start another routine if its structure you need.. Maybe throw in a little walk everyday so your focused on do that perhaps? I know you may not feel up to doing it but push through the feeling and you will get better.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>You definitely do deserve to be better and free from the devil pill. It takes over your life. Now you can take over your life without it in. And be free from it. And you will feel so much better in the coming days/weeks.</p>
Keep re reading this thread.. That’s what I done constantly. Always write your feelings even if it’s on this group. Everyone is very supportive here. They helped me get through it and is still continuing to do so.You really can do it marble x
Good afternoon,
Marble your in the right place coming here to off load and admit your problem that’s a really good start. I’m with you on this as I done it alone and still 7 weeks on no one knows. I don’t think I could tell anyone either. Maybe years to come I might. I wrote on here pretty much everyday through my withdrawl as helped me so much. The days start off really long but trust the process. It’s honestly the best thing that I’ve done. Make sure your taking vitamins as in the start it helped me a lot. Eat bananas. You have 2 days already and that’s amazing.. It’s about pushing through now. You really can do it.
Acssess, wynter and marky mark. Glad your holding up too. Nice to hear off you all. Your all doing amazing.
Keep going guys x
Good afternoon all.
Black worrior. Oh my god its flying by so glad ur managing to stay codiene free ???? well done you must be so proud of yourself. The cravings will always catch you out. Mine are getting less now last week or more. Which I don’t even think of now. I’m 7 weeks today which I can not even believe myself. So rewarding when you hit your milestones….
I hope everyone is managing OK too….
Take it easy and look after yourselves

Morning all,
Well done lola for not going to codeine that’s a huge achievement in it self when ur in pain and want them to ease pain.
Thank you markymark.
I’m still up and down on my energy. Went to gp and they took some blood so I’m being investigated now as my red blood cells are low so could possibly be low iron which is why I’m feeling the way I am. Yet I’m taking all multivitamins everyday.. So hopefully when they get this sorted I will have lots more energy ????????
Keep going people. You can do this
