Hello Dotty ????
November 15, 2021 at 6:10 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25661maggie37ParticipantHi sleeping beauty . Sorry but haven’t seen your previous message. Just as Rach said , you really need to find that time when you’re ready to get your life back .I tried before but only lasted two months and went back to the pills . Have lied to myself and everyone around me about how big my problem was . I hope you can join us soon and feel yourself again.
November 15, 2021 at 6:07 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25660maggie37ParticipantHi Rach .I had a look at the forum guidelines and it says it’s for people who are affected by someone else’s addiction . I didn’t know that ..that’s probably why they keep getting deleted ..I am so glad you have made it this far xx There is no way back now ,we did it ????
November 15, 2021 at 5:12 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25652maggie37ParticipantI don’t know why but recently about 3-4 of my comments on here have been removed ???? The best of luck to you all
November 14, 2021 at 4:37 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25628maggie37ParticipantHello Betterlife . It’s normal you are feeling this way ,we have all had that one day where we thought we could not carry on .It will get easier ,I promise xx Just hang in there a bit longer and you will start feeling yourself again .
November 13, 2021 at 3:30 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25621maggie37ParticipantHello Betterlife . Congratulations on your pregnancy ???????? unfortunately I never had the privilege of becoming a mother so don’t know what it’s like . Restless legs were the worst for me too and lasted about a week I think .Once you have a good night sleep you will feel a lot better . Good luck and stay strong for the little one ☺️
November 10, 2021 at 7:18 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25577maggie37ParticipantHi Rach . Thank you ???? I’m pleased to hear you feel yourself again ???? Now it can only get better and better ???? Well done ????

November 9, 2021 at 4:50 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25564maggie37ParticipantHello User . Firstly I am sorry to hear about your mum ,I lost mine due to cancer and I dont wish it on the worst enemy . If you’re in pain then it might be a good idea to ask your doctor for an alternative pain relief ? You are clearly not ready to come off it cold turkey ,so maybe tapering down would work for you ? I wish there was an easy way out but I’m afraid there isn’t one especially when you struggle mentally . If it wasn’t for my antidepressants ,I don’t think I could have done it myself . See what the mental health team can do or advise .Please don’t be too hard on yourself . When you’re ready you will come off these pills .I relapsed couple of times before but it just wasn’t my time and I wasn’t ready . Wishing you all the best . We are here for you if you need us xx
November 9, 2021 at 12:31 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25560maggie37ParticipantHi, that’s good news ???? Just think how strong you are – you didn’t give up even though it was very hard ????
November 9, 2021 at 7:09 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25556maggie37ParticipantHi Rach . I am just checking up on you ????Hope you’re feeling better today xx
November 8, 2021 at 3:14 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25545maggie37ParticipantEvery time I feel like I could just take a couple and feel better I think of how difficult it’s been to get this far .Also ,I didn’t like the person those pills made me ,my life was making circles around that addiction . Could never go back to it .Stay strong
November 8, 2021 at 12:46 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25543maggie37ParticipantHi Rach . I think it absolutely normal ,your brain has to learn how to work on its own again and unfortunately psychological symptoms can last a lot longer than physical .I suffer anxiety and depression so my meds have probably made it a bit easier for me .Just hang in there and try to get through today .if you need to cry ,just cry – it helps sometimes to get it all out of your system .I still have days when I’m very low in mood but I know it’s only temporary .you can do this ????????????
November 7, 2021 at 2:58 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25537maggie37ParticipantHello again ???? I have tried to contact me off them few times but it wasn’t the right time for me then . This time I also booked a week off work because I knew I wouldn’t be able to do anything .I was counting days pretty much like you are at the moment .Was looking forward to it .Make sure you drink and eat as it’s easy to get dehydrated .I am really happy to see so many people trying to quit and are successful .Good luck ???? I can see you’re determined and preparing well for it ????
November 7, 2021 at 1:57 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #25531maggie37ParticipantHi Rach .You have no idea how much it means to hear that ,thank you . I can’t remember what day it was for me but I literally sat down and burst in tears .I didn’t thing I could get through another day like that so I do know how difficult it can get .
