Thank you so much for the words of support, even just getting through to the end of the week seems impossible but I’m gonna stick it out. I deserve this, I deserve to get better. It’s just extra hard as I’m autistic and hate changes in my routine. I already take antidepressants and a multivitamin everyday so i think i should be alright on that front at least.
Im just so glad I came across this group and feel like I’m actually gonna hold myself accountable now!
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I dont even know where to start. This is my first time admitting I have a problem, I guess I’ve been using codeine on and off (more on thought) for nearly 4 years, if not longer. Im only in my 20s. I’m currently 2 days clean, slightly involuntarily because I’m sick at the moment and had to take lemsips to deal with my cold symptoms and was scared to take more paracetamol on top of those, but now my not taking it is voluntary. I dread to think how my insides are doing after all this time.
Basically because I am sick at the moment, I don’t know where my symptoms start and my withdrawals end.
Nobody knows about this, I’m so scared and embarrassed of how my family and friends would react, so I’m going through this all alone and I’m terrified. I still live at home with one of my parents and I’m worried that if i take too long to recover from my illness they’ll start to get worried sick and I can’t do that to them.
I was taking the max dose of neurofen plus and solpadeine max pretty much every day, I never took more than recommended, is there any hope for me?</p>
