I dont think rach has been back on the boards for awhile.
The posts get really mixed up,dont know why. The site must be having problems as i have tried to reply to yourself swveral times.i hope this makes it π€
I think if you scroll up fron the bottom say 10/20 posts you will see it more up too date.
I hope this finds you continuing your battle.Takes a brave man/woman to take it on,so i doff my cap to you π
Even making the decision to try get clean is a task on its own.
Take care an be strong,you got this!

I hope you are well. Yes it would be such a shame if the page dwindled away. We must see it as a positive that nobody has a problem atm. Although i very much doubt it. I was in the chemist the other day, a lady infront was trying to blag that she never had her prescription ect..then the phamasist explained that she had it the week previously, I remember them days only too well at the beginning. To look at the lady you would never believe it. The phamasist was unprofessional, however,he had to explain and the shop is only small. I am not bieng judgemental,far from it,am just trying to explain it is normal people from everyday life who succumb to these horrid pills. Bit of a ramble there,i am sorry.
Yes Maria we have to keep battling,it is extremely hard some days,infact more than ever atm..do not know why.Just lifes struggles i suppose.
Anyhow enough rambling, sending good vibes Maria and anyone else reading this.
Stay strong and be nice to yourselves. You have done amazing!

I hope everyone is ok.
The site hasn’t been working for awhile,or it is just me not been able to read comments?
Maria,i hope things have started to look up for you.
I do not know what to say at the moment in all honesty. The site seems really quiet.
Sending healing vibes to anyone that needs them.
Stay strong all πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»π€π€π€πππ

Thankyou for the kind words.Means alot.
Really sorry to hear you sttuggling atm,we are very similar when it comes to these things. I remember i took some dhc after a few months been clean,just like you i thought i would treat now an again wont hurt.How wrong was i! Like yourself,no withdrawals but shame guilt anxiety was just through the roof. Apparently opiates rewire the brain,Β so when we slip up our brains remember the old ways which is soo destroying to us mentally. You are doing so well Maria,please dont beat yourself up! We ALL have these thoughts. Try an use it too your advantage. Try too remember them feelings when you get the urge again. I still get urges, sometimes really really strong,not quite sure how i cope in all honesty. However i do.
Stay strong Maria,just holla if you feeling down.I will keep checking in.
That goes for anyone else on this journey. Its one of the most addictive substances for a reason. The devil πΉ
Take care all and stay strong!
Sending good wishes an vibes to all.

July 9, 2024 at 4:03 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #254320MarkyMarkParticipantHi Rebecca
I hope you are not feeling too bad.All you can do is try again really. It is hard as you know so do not be too hard on yourself if you are not getting where you want to be.Sorry if that doesn’t make alot of sense,having a hard day myself today.
Just do what you can,you know you don’t want to be a slave to codiene,so any amount less than normal is a good thing.
Take care Rebecca and be strong πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»π€π€π€πππ

Not been around for awhile,i am sorry.I do mean to come on more often.
I hope this finds everyone doing ok,if not my thoughts an prayers are with you all.
It is a very hard time as we all know,so do not be too hard on yourself .You have made the right decision! Maria,bels access and all those who have been on the journey,carry on smashing it! You have all done amazing, you really have. Sometimes we tell ourselves not nice things during this time.Please don’t. You are doing the most positive thing you could do! Be kind.
I hope you all can enjoy the weekend much as possible!
Stay strong all πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»π€π€π€πππ

Sorry i havnt been around of late,not been too good.However on we go!
Maria i hope this finds you ok an continuing your battle.You are doing so well. Stick at it lass ????
Tilly,anything that lowers the amount of opiates is a good thing,just keep at that dose,do not increase. Everyone of us are different so what works for one will not necessary work for us all. I hope that makes sense.If you did go back to the 8mg co codamol, stick at it for a week then half it.That goes for whatever dose you are on.For example,i was on 10(30mg) dhc daily .So i cut down 1 a week.That worked for me,as id tried CT quite a few times. It is a battle im not going to lie,however it is achievable.
Anyone reading this,good luck! Stop wandering,an do it! You got this.You really have!
Stay strong all and try have a good weekend!

Reading your post has just made me realise.The “normal” energy used to be that really positive energy that was as you said the dhc! I either forgot,or simply didnt realise! ????ββοΈ think i forgot. Am sure what you said resonates with quite a few of us,thankyou.
I hope everyone else is feeling ok and not suffering too much.If it is one of them days,it will end soon enough.Stay strong you got this.
Take care all ????????????????????????????????????????????????
April 27, 2024 at 9:16 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #37898MarkyMarkParticipantHi all ,i hope you are all good and continuing your journey.Thoughts are with you all at this time.You may not feel it, but you are all warriors.
Bels you are doing amazing!! Not the news you wanted too hear at the docs,try not to worry too much.The 9th will soon be here,untill then try to concentrate on yourself. Keeping well! look at how far you have come! Nearly Β£600 quid saved too! I remember when i was first put on this medication.After a few weeks i was “chemist shopping”. I think it was nurophen plus. Am soo glad them days are over,so i know exactly how you feel! Shame gone now Bels ???? As for the devil on your shoulders,unfortunately i think the devil is always there on my shoulders,he is just not as loud as he used to be,so it is easier not to listen him.Stay strong Bels you got this! Dont listen to your devil ???? he tells fibs!! Haha.
Have a great weekend all! As Bels said no one is here too judge,just too help on your Β battle!
Stay strong all ????????????????????????????????????????????????
