Hi Access
Really really well done on getting off my friend. I remember you starting out your journey like it was yesterday. You are an inspiration to many!! Yes they are worse than drink,but only just haha. Noo am joking,alcohol was so much easier to quit,however the cravings for a ice cold bottle of stella never leaves me! So cold you have to put the bottle in a sleeve!! Stop it Mark! I dont want one really ????♂️.
Haha have as best a weekend as you can all! Stay strong man!

Hi Ellissa
Firstly your partner will need to admit he has a problem.
He most probalby is only using to feel ok.Once that tolerance builds up your body gets used to it pretty quick.It is a lot of paracetamol to be taking every day.At least he will have to have his liver checked out just too make sure it is ok.You say he is near retirement, so he mustve been on them a good while.I would suggest talking to him and sharing your fears,he may not even realise whats going on atm.These things take everything from us,literally. So it would not suprise me if he is in the dark somewhat.
Have a chat Ellissa and see what you can come up with.A one tablet a week taper would be my advice.Just sticking to it is hard,however if you want to be free that is the most not unpleasant way. It is achievable. Speak with him and try an alay your fears Ellissa.We are hear for you oth if needed. Take care and stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Bels,you have so well getting this far from what you have just said! Hang on in there,you can do this,you have proved you can achieve been free by going without already.Really really well done.Just remember it is a journey,so take it slowly be kind to yourself and try and eat an drink as much as you can.You got this you really have!!
This is what keeps me going,all of you are so inspiring, you really are!
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Teresagr
You are in the right place for starting your journey!
I think the GPs are stuck between a rock an a hard place.They want to help with pain,but unfortunately they cause soo many problems to lots of us. They just do not see all the nonsense that goes with them.
Day 3 is where it all starts,imo, however if you have stuck to the 60mg a day i do not think you will be in for a really hard time.Have you thought about a taper,ie drop a tablet a week.Will be alot easier i would’ve thought.
Good luck with whatever you decide,you can and will do this!
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Haha John you absolute gem you!! Great to hear you are opiate free.Awesome job my friend.
I did a long taper too as you know.I still had withdrawals but not the cravings like i had before.
I used to be a drinker too John,however i am 3.5yrs since my last drink.It has always been one thing or another with me unfortunately.
It’s stories like yours that give me inspiration to continue my journey however long it may be.
Take care John and stay strong my friend!

Yes totally agree with you there.However i do believe they have a use,just to a certain type of person.Or in hospital ect..i don’t really know,i know someone who only takes when needed for pain,no side effects or withdrawals..then he may not take for a week,and still be ok.
Another day started my friend,another day closer to been clean!
Stay strong my friend

Hi Wavingwands
I hope you are getting better,it will take time for your body to ajust to the lack of tablets.I read somewhere that our livers store some of the medicines and we use that up as it is in our system already. As that is used to withdrawal starts.Mine was at it worst between day 3 and 4 weeks! Was not nice,especially the mental side of things. Stay strong my friend, you will get there! You have done so much already, you should be proud you have got this far.Doffs cap ????
Hour at a time some days,it really is a roller coaster of a journey! Good luck going forward,sending good vibes!

Hi Wynter, nice to hear from you! 6 months is a huge achievement. Yes i think i am about 10-14 days behind you so i must be near too.
I hope you are ok an coping with lifes struggles. Sending good vibes your way Wynter.
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all
I hope everyone is ok and battling on.I posted yesterday too but the post has gone.
Pinngy i think if you stick too tapering 1 tablet a week,you will feel alot better.I think you dropped way too much straight away and was hit with full on withdrawal. Opiate use can cause depression and anxiety so everything will be amplified ten fold if you go CT.
Good luck on your journey man ????
Stay strong all ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all!
Sorry i havnt been on,i couldnt log on for some reason.
I hope everyone is ok an continuing on your journey without any pills.
Access i hope your anxiety eases my friend.Mine has been awful since giving up the pills.Thought it may have settled right down by now.Just life i suppose.
I remember awhile ago posts were going missing not sure what is happening now!
Stay strong all,sending good healing vibes to you all!
