Hi Wynter, your at 16,must be 14 this weekend for me then.Wowzers!
It is still very fresh in my mind,like you said it is the pain side of things.????♂️ not good really.But we DO know where it will lead lass,do we not.
We have too keep strong an put up with it,seriously we cannot let them back in.
Stay strong Wynter ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Access, very valuable information there my friend.
I was the same with alcohol, seemed soo much easier in funny type of way! I think it was because i wanted to stop, as with most things,havent smoked for 10 years.That seemed alot easier too.Perhaps i have forgotten.
As Wynter said,it’s the pain side of things that i now see the pills for,especially some days.The OTC medicines work,but other days they do not touch the pain.
I read somewhere that the pain is a trauma in the head!.Ie if we are in pain for a significant time,the pain is STAMPED into our brains.How true that is i do not know??
Well done again Access, taming the beast you are!! ????
Superleo
You sound like you are through the worst and have emerged like a butterfly on the otherside. I do not think you will have much more physicals just the headwork,but you KNOW where you want to be so am super confident you have beaten the beast too.
Please troops do not let it back in, you know it will try to continue to trick you for some time!
Speak soon guys.
Stay strong all ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi kittycat,
You will tell your family when you are ready too i expect. There is no rush,just focus on getting yourself in that good place again free of dhc,then things will fall back into place in time.
It is so pleasing to see you all continuing this battle and winning it really is! I doff my cap to each and everyone of you! ????????????
No “doffing cap emojys”
Take care all and stay strong.

Hi Wynter! Just saying hello and hope you are in a good place!
Stay strong lass ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Good luck today Superleo,before you know it another day will be done,well done you!!
The amount of positivity blows me away sometimes, so much support for people,from people in the know. It’s priceless as we all know very much.
Good luck all,thinking of all of you!
Stay strong troops!

Hi Access, still going strong! Keep up the great work man.
You are nailing this,you really are.Do you think having given up alcohol that it has helped you giving up dhc? When i look back it helped me a little,however i still crave a drink somedays.haha
I think this will always be the case.
Stay strong man,you GOT this.
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all!
Stevie welcome ,you are in the right place. Over 2 weeks already! Awesome work!
Superleo,I used to do that too,at 5pm that was the day done,it really helped somehow,made the day shorter i think. It really does seem so long ago,but 2mins at the same time! ????♂️
Kittycat you do right,if you do not feel like doing anything, don’t,it will wait. The energy an motivation will come back soon enough.
I have had a few bad days lately,but i somehow manage to muddle through to 5pm.Starting to think less an less of Dhc,but i won’t let my guard down,i know how clever they can be!
Stay strong you wonderful lot!

Hi all! Welcome Superleo!
You have made the right decision as kittycat has said.
Imo the worst days were 5 6 7, six bieng the worst if i remember correctly. As you said it is the psychological side of the withdrawal that so many of us fail.It is just so hard. The positive mindeset is what will get you through.Also remember, (this is not nice) that if you succumbed then it is a start again from the beginning. That bit helped me noend as there was noway i was gonna throw them first days away again.
Everyday is easier,each day has its own problems,but if you take it slowly from hour to hour you WILL ger there.
There are so many people on here wolling to help in anyway they can,so do not be afraid to get typing! Stay strong you are doing so well!
Speak soon all!
Stay strong troops

Hi all
My temperature didn’t sort itself out for maybe 4-6 weeks.Sneezing,runny nose in the evenings for some reason.
Anything is possible tbh our bodies are used to dhc so it will take awhile to settle down.
Hour at a time if possible, things will get better.
Stay strong all

Hi Blackwarrior,i must get this in now while i do not forget.
I too have suffered with my teeth,and i will say this,Ibroprophen is alot better to treat mouth/teeth pain than anything apart from Oramorph! Which is not the way forward.Definitely. (hot water and salt) is another good way if you get an infection.Infact i always go too them two treatments more than anything else even when i was on opiates.If we think of it,what is teeth pain,inflammation mainly or infection.
What i am trying to say is,do not worry about teeth pain just carry on without the codiene. Ibroprophen is your friend.If you can take them that is.????♂️ did not think of that.
Just thought I’d get that across.
Day 6 now,that week nearly done! You have done amazing to do your house,dress beds ect.
You really have!!
Stay strong Blackwarrior!

Hi Blockwarrior,as Wynter said you should be so pround of yourself for getting even to day 5!huge achievement.
The reason we keep doing it over and over is because it is such a hell to go through completely, that we relapse believing it is unevetable.Imo that is.The psychological side of it is pure hell for me,i never believed i was capable.This site coming here regularly has shown me it can be done.
Wynter was about 10 days or 2 weeks before me,she gave me so much help just by coming on every day,an explaining how she felt,made me realise people are going through very similar things,and i could perhaps get to where Wynter was.She probalby never knew how much help she was giving.
She a good en ????
Anyway i have gone on abit again,hope you start to feel better soon,nearly a WEEK!!
You GOT this.

Hi all!
Seems as though everyone is continuing to battle on through! Awesome guys!
I think as i have said before, this site helps alot. So much support and empathy. It has given me hope,that there are still alot of really nice people out there. You do not really see it every day life.
Some on 2 weeks some on 3 weeks it really is great too see.
As soo many have said,we never believed we could ever reach that stage! Warriors the lot of you!
Stay strong all

Hi all,thankyou for the kind words.It means alot.
Do not know why yesterday was so bad,i must move on,but i can’t help but think what caused it. Must learn acceptance more.
I hope everyone is okay today,i hope you have as most pleasant weekend as you can.
You are doing amazing all of you,you really are! The support you give too each other is second to none.I think because we know how hard things can be it makes us more understanding.
Stay strong troops an speak soon!

Hi Kittycat,
The demon is always there isn’t it.Just stay strong,like you say,you cannot waste 3 weeks! That is what keeps me going! The thought of starting again horrifies me.This last week i have been in a bit of pain so the pills have been calling too.It is most probalby the pain that started my downward spiral. My mind struggles it really does. However we must be strong,no matter what our minds are saying.So i will!
Whatever happens though, if i do fall(which i won’t) i will tell the boards.Just too show how evil these things are.Waffling abit now sorry.
Time to sign off for now!
Stay strong troops!!
