Hi all
NS,anything you feel over the next few weeks is perfectly normal.Your body has been used to having codiene,it takes awhile to reset itself without the chemical. You will get there,it is a huge roller coaster ride lots of ups and downs,lots.
Wishing you all the best and the strength to continue your journey! ????????????????????
Hi all,just saying hello and wishing you the strength to continue on the journey!
Please remember it is a marathon not a race! Stay strong people.Do not let them back in your life.They will be waiting patiently for your relapse.Do NOT give in to them,they lie(just the once wont hurt,the pain is bad today) they decieve,they are just trying to trick you.
Stay strong troops! ???????? ❤️
As Wynter said,DO NOT beat yourself up at all,horror pills they are! We all started taking with the best of interest. Pain relief!
You really are going on a roller coaster, everything you will feel is normal,the THOUGHTS, are just that.THOUGHTS! You are going to be emotional an feel out of your mind,all normal UNFORTUNATELY.
But it really will get better,it WILL! As Wynter says,one hour at a time,or day whichever suits yourself really.
You sound like you want to be free of them,sending lots of positive vibes your way!! Talk with your partner,he can reassure you!
Stay strong all ???????? ????????
Hi Ns
Forst of all good luck,you are exactly right what you say.
All the things you are feeling are completely normal. Unfortunately it will get a little worse before it gets better.I think from my experience and others who have taken the journey,its roughly 2 weeks(starting day 3) not 12 hrs as we are led to believe,of physical withdrawal, but i found the headwork was alot harder than the physical. All in all its roughly 6 weeks till some sort of real normality is standard. Have you got a friendly doctor you can speak too?
Sorry i was probalby the bearer of bad news,but i thought straight is best.
The aay it was explained to me,whats 6 weeks compared to the rest of your life! It helped me noend,as did some of the people on this page.The support has been great.So am happy to help if i can.
Be strong guys ????????????????????????????
Hi all
That makes 3 of us on the anxiety today! I went too bed at 9 just cause i had enough of bieng awake! Soo woke up at 4! Full of anxiety. I done my burpee routine again yestaday too. I have just got to remind myself it will go eventually.
Our brains were soo conditioned with codiene, i think it is going to take awhile to reset itself and be “normal” once again. That is what i keep telling myself anyway.
Dana is on 13 today,one more the the 2 week mark. Give yourself a pat on the back Danna.
Good luck on the journey Riyaad,we all here for you.
Stay strong all ???????? ❤️

I think you maybe right there Wynter!! ???????????? got to stay focused!
You know the devil won’t be beaten this easily.i KNOW he will rare up again.
Stay strong troopers ????????????????
Hi Wynter! Hope you’re well.
Without a doubt the headstuff is the hardest to deal with.I have gone down(not fully,but down) since my post this morning. I think it was you who said about a roller coaster ride,it certainly is.I am going to have negative thoughts, i just have to face and ignore the nasty ones,and embrace the good ones.I honestly cannot remember the last time i sang along really can’t. So this the thoughts i must focus on.
Marathon not a race ????????????
Stay strong all ???????? ❤️
Soph, as Warby said forget what day you wouldve been on.You are just continuously beating yourself up.There is no need to do that. We are here for you just pick a date,an let the support commence.
If i can do it,you certainly can! Honestly i was reading about the 18days first post, when i was tapering down from 10 30mg dhc. Never thought i would get there,but i have.With the support from here and anyone who you can trust so will you too! As Warby said you need all the support you can get for yourself.
I lost count of the amount of times i didnt want to be here.
<p style=”text-align: right;”>I kept focusing on my daughter without me,that helped alot i believe.I have always struggled with life so the not wanting to be here was soo real,really was.You can do this Sophie,you can. Positive vibes sent your way!</p>Hi Warby,i know Zapain very well,it was my introduction as it were.
I have not long completed 4 x25 pushup burpees with a minute rest inbetween! I was even singing to some tunes while doing it! I am through the otherside!!!
.I even slept till nine!!! Went to bed at 11! 10hours!
Just the head work i got to sort out now,but if i can exercise with continuity i will be ok i think.We will see. Just got to stay away from them devil pills! Easier said than done i know.
Good luck all and stay strong ????????❤️????
Hi Warby,i re read your og thread earlier,i originally read you was taking a cple a day for 10 months! You was taking 3, 4-5 times a day! No wonder you have been thru hell! I did wonder why you was still suffering! Please do not try an just take a cple for pain,they will grab you again,honestly they kid you no end!
I am sore this morning and Ibroprophen not touching it,however i know what the others bring, so ill just be miserable lol.
You have done really well Warby,any hardship you now face you know it wont be as bad as an opiate withdrawal! Hopefully sail through things.
Good luck my friend.
Stay strong all! ???????? ❤️
Hi all
I havnt had a line in nearly 3 years. Alcohol was my gateway to cocaine.I drank i used simple as that.I think as soon as the alcohol takes effect rationality has gone,so alot if us will use .
I had to get rid of all old friends that was still at it,stopped drinking(that was harder)and half the battle was won.
Good luck with your journey all!
Hi Caw
I too have a problem with alcohol,13 years dry untill 3 years ago when my wife moved on.i have been dry since.
Imo if you try and cut some drink out of your routine you may be able to get your consumption down so you will have less ill effect on your body.Here if you beed to chat! Good luck! Mark
