Hi Wynter! Haha i have similar thoughts re: just take a cple for the pain,however if i get that feeling i am petrified i will want it again.It is my oramorph month too soo i have to be super strong! Flipping things! My anxiety hasnt really eased,i am just facing it more head on,so far soo good! Them pills scream at me some days that is the addict in me i think.
I cannot believe we are so far out the other side lass! I really can’t. This site has been a major help as has yourself and others!
Hope you have a good day today Wynter.
Stay strong lass! ???????? ????????????????????????

Great to hear your still plugging away.My anxiety had eased,it is still nowhere near as intense as it was weeks ago! Seems a long time now.10 weeks 3 days for me.Have had the urge several times for pain but stuck with Ibroprophen and paracetamol. Does take a little edge off so that is something.
Its great to hear us all through that horrid time!! It was at times for me,nearly got the better of me several times in all honesty!
Take care both,and speak soon!
Stay strong all ???????? ????????????????????????

Hope you are ok yourself and battling on! Hope so.
Take care and stay strong!

It is not shameful,plenty have tried lots of times to stop,just not the right time that is all.Just keep trying you WILL get there.

Just popping in to say you are not on your own! You will see light at the end of the tunnel.
It is a long road but i fully believe that it is a road worth following.
The symptoms will pass, then you will be free! Believe in yourself, you CAN do this!
Stay strong troops ???????? ????????????????
July 29, 2023 at 4:37 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #36041MarkyMarkParticipantHi John,it sounds like you are well on your way too recovery!
Soon be down to one tablet! Beware though John,i still had withdrawals even though i tapered properly.Do not get me wrong,it was not as severe as CT but was there all the same.
It does sound like you have everything in hand! Super well done John,we how hard that temptation is! My cravings were less though through tapering.
Cat,i hope this finds you still healing.You are better than them there pills!
Stay strong all ????????????????????????????????
July 28, 2023 at 8:23 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #36033MarkyMarkParticipantHi Cat! You are doing amazing!! 5 days!
This is serious time now,the little devils will try every trick in the book to make you take them again,honestly they are soo deceitful! (Just take a cple,see what they feel like)NO!!!!
You will have your life back in no time at all,you have probalby heard this before,but I’ll say it anyway,”what is 4-6weeks compared to the rest of your life!” There will be a void left by the codiene, you will have to make a new life for yourself.Sounds daunting but it is not.You WILL be ok.
Did you manage to confide in your Dad,i hope so,it is lonely journey on your own.I know that as do a few others on the board.
You got this!! Stay strong and try and eat/drink ect.
Sending good vibes to all who need it!

Nearly forgot to pop in today,been an emotional one.
Anyway,i hope you are still battling on.Keeping up the good fight as it were.

Only another cple of days and you should be feeling a little better.Not going to lie,you are not going to be jumping rivers or the like,but you will just start to come through the worst.
You have to remain strong,you are now at your most vulnerable,so keep them positive thoughts going!
Stay well hydrated,and if you can try and eat,the more you can do the quicker it will be over!

July 25, 2023 at 3:56 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35998MarkyMarkParticipantHi Wynter! Hope youbare feeling a bit better! Ibam with you on anxiety,but mee three,am not taking them pills.Been a hard few days for me too,got through it though without the devils.So it just proves it can be done(i hope i have not spoken too soon)! See the pessimist rise then haha.
I hope you anxiety eases soon Wynter! If you are like me though it will be always there from what i have learnt lately.Was always under the impression it could be got rid of.Anyway will hopefully have some tools to deal with it.
We can only hope ay!
Stay heathly and strong Wynter! ???????? ????????????????
July 25, 2023 at 10:30 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35984MarkyMarkParticipantHi Catnuggit! I hope this finds you staying strong! It is horrible is it not!! But,you can do it! If i did it anyone can,honestly.
You are going to be feeling like this for a good few days yet. The immodium helps,it really does,it also calmed down my tum cramps.Try an get as much water as you can,because i doubt you will have little appetite. I do hope you can eat,that will help also.
Anything else just holla,i shall keep checking the boards so you are not alone!
Ps. The pills WILL try and trick you that is their speciality ???? %
Stay strong! ???????? ????????????????
