Warby i think has done it,well done Warby! Wynter i know you will still be around.I hope you feel a little better today,not nice to go through especially after what you have been through of late.
Sophie, John i hope you are both carrying on with your fight.I will try and make sure i come on regular if anyone needs it! I think Wynter is going to do the same.

????????????????????????????????June 29, 2023 at 11:50 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35646MarkyMarkParticipantHi all,imho i think it has to be it with opiate painkillers.
Apparently our brains recognise it and start the process again! However everyone is different as they say. Personally i have an addictive personality so i am not going to risk it.I am missing them more now than i was at the beginning. I will not though(he says). I got too stay strong 40 days today.Just shy of six weeks.So i would be absolutely devastated to start again,dunno if i could! Anyhow enough negativity for today!
Hope Warby is good now,thoughts are still with you Wynter,i had to leave vets via back entrance i balled so much when i lost my doggo.So i know how that feels.
Have a good day all,stay strong! ????????????????????????

June 28, 2023 at 4:52 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35633MarkyMarkParticipantHi all
My apolgies Wynter lol…dunno why i thought that.Heyho.Like you say it don’t matter,we are all victims of these pills.
Soph as Wynter said it’s extremely hard getting off these things.
I read earlier someone fell at 40 days! Now that scares me as am 40 days tomorrow, i have still not alot of motivation.Cannot even be bothered to eat properly.
However i am still quite confident i wont use. I fell at 7 days by rewarding myself for getting to 7 days!! Wtf!?? Lol
Now that is mad thinking(pills make you think a certain way)
Every day is a victory! I get to 6pm an i done another day! So 10 mins an i done 39 ????
I was reminded how much a massive thing it is earlier,just when i needed it,reason for everything they say!
Anyhow waffled on enough,good luck over night all!
????????????????????
June 28, 2023 at 11:18 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35615MarkyMarkParticipantHi guys!
I hope you are ok Wynter! Thoughts are with you man.
Warby your liver will heal,pretty resilient as im lead to believe.Your not stupid for typing your woes my friend,we are all different and need some reassuring sometimes. So do not be thinking that! As i said to Wynter,the codiene you was taking was suppressing your feelings,so now anything is going to seem alot worse than it is.
Wynter has had alot thrown at him of late, look how strong he is(bet he doesnt feel it though) however he is! We can see it!
I am sending strength and hugs to all today,seems like some good vibes are needed!
Stay strong troops! ????????????????????????????????????????
June 27, 2023 at 7:59 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35606MarkyMarkParticipantOhh Wynter….things are sent to try us im afraid! I know things are super hard at the moment,things will change,you know they will,it is just so sad as you say.Thoughts are with you my friend! You won’t touch the devil i know you wont! Think of them good memories mate,you know alot of your sadness will be heightened due to no codiene to supress it! Am with you man,just holla if ya need? I shall keep checking in.
Have a cple of diazepam, after all its what they are for,short term use ???????????? stay strong Wynter ????????
June 27, 2023 at 12:38 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35579MarkyMarkParticipantWow 7 weeks!! What an achievement Wynter! Are you back to normalish now?
I had another walk today! Only cple k but still got out.
Looking forward to hitting 6 weeks on Saturday! Hoping most of it is nearly done.
Well done all ????????????
June 27, 2023 at 11:23 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35576MarkyMarkParticipantWarby, Wynter hope you are both well! I think Warby has smashed it! As has yourself Wynter! We have another adition to the NIGHTMARE CREW! Senging hugs guys/gals ????????????
June 27, 2023 at 10:44 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35575MarkyMarkParticipantHi John
Firstly ill say your story is similar to alot of us here! It is one big battle my friend.I was on remedine forte(codydramol) or similar, then the pharmacy stopped getting them,so the doctor just prescribed 30mg dhc with paracetamol to go with them.
To be honest that suited me, due to the amount of paracetamol i was consuming with the dhc.Also it allowed me to have Ibroprophen with them that helped me more with pain.
I done everything you do or did,including the shop!! Just able to do that on my own now, 5 weeks plus of no dhc. I am seriously getting better, although i am experiencing more pain where i had dhc before.Ibroprophen doesnt help some days,however i have to learn to live with it and adapt, because dhc destroys you,emotionally, physically and every other f***ing way,honestly. As you have probably already read in this thread.Opiates are a living nightmare.
We are all here for you John,we are! The thread started out on someones 18 days free.I never thought i and others would get to there,but we have! This thread helps no end! I have been tempted several times but i would lose 38 days! Not happening no more.Them 38 will grow.
I went my first week free and rewarded myself by taking 3.5 pills,omg i felt so let down,ashamed ect…i started again the next day!
How many mgs you on a day John if you don’t mind me asking? No prob if not!
Good luck on your journey my friend!! ????????????????????
June 26, 2023 at 8:15 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35540MarkyMarkParticipantHi all
Warby hope you are sleeping now an the worst is over.
Wynter you sure are right,after all we have been through with these pills ,you would think we would never think of them again! How wrong is that! Day 37 now,had a brisk walk this morning,in the sun so that should release some dopamine.
Here’s wishing everyone a strong day! Do not let your guard down,they will be in you in a flash! Carry on the great work all,wishing you a speedy recovery ???????????? ????????????
