Hi guys. Just thought I’d check in and say I’m on day 31 today. I’m still struggling with stomach issues like diaherr, I guess I would have thought that would have passed by now. I eat quite healthily, don’t have fried or high fat foods. I think it’s because the opiates were slowing my system down for so long- I had chronic constipation and now it has gone the opposite. I’m not going to give up, just wondering whether this is normal at this point.
Thank you,
Emma
Hi everyone. Just thought I’d post again with my experience. The restlessness is horrible but the restless legs do go away around day 10. For me the anxiety never went away which led to be slipping on day 40, but I’m back on track and on day 2 again now. I have anxious avoidant personality disorder which means I have constant “free floating anxiety” (psychologist words not mine!!), so I know that stopping the opiates won’t magically cure my anxiety but at least I’ll know I’m not an addict. One of my motivations is so I am of sound mind to progress as a pianist (aka name). I don’t want any children so don’t have that as motivation.
Keep going x

I’m glad your results were good 🙂
I’m having a wobble today as I am very anxious about my partner who isn’t well, but I know that codeine is not the answer and never will be. We got this for a brighter future xx
Hello, I recently joined here as I am fighting my addiction to codeine and tramadol. I am on day 14 and still not sleeping well but I have hope. Unfortunately my anxiety has been flaring up a lot since withdrawing but I am telling myself that is due to withdrawal. Xx
Hi there, so sorry to hear about your situation. I am coming from the other side (as in I have an addiction but am getting better).
I am a female and have taken coke before (my main problem is opiates though) and it did not “make” me do anything unfaithful etc. I’m sorry if that’s hard to take and I don’t know if men are different but I honestly see it as an excuse. I actually hate it when men blame their addictions for not being faithful.
You deserve so much better. Yes addiction is very hard but you’ve supported this man through a lot and to find out he’s been webcamming… it’s up to you what you do but please try and keep your head held high and remember you are not at fault whatsoever and I know it’s hard but you can start again and meet someone else if you wish.
Saying that, maybe someone else could provide a different perspective of their male partner being on coke?
Take care
