    Hi mate. I started my affair with opiates on codine and it is just as hard as heroin to withdraw successfully from. I stayed clean for 4 years and, fell off the wagon a year ago. When I fully cleared the drugs out of my system (5 – 10 days) The longer the better. I opted to take Nalorex for a few months after completely abstaining from opiates. To stop temptation getting the better of me. Opiates don’t work whatsoever when you have Nalorex in your system. I started my withdrawal process on Subutex, which I’m sure you know is a synthetic opiate substitute and a blocker that stops the affects of codine, heroin and other opiates. I went from 4mg a day to 200 micrograms a day within 120 days (4 months) then I stopped taking them and didn’t have a cold turkey, rattle, illness of any kind. But I was clean for a week and I bought some dyhidracodine, then some heroin on the same day. Luckily I had someone to talk to about it and they steared me back to the doctors to talk about Nalorex. It stopped me from using, but I also found that councilling with someone who understands what you’re going through is priceless.

    I too have ruined not one, but 3 fantastic relationships because of opiate addiction. Our partners always find it hard to get over all the lies you tell them. Every addict lies to the ones they love the most if the ones they love don’t know about your addiction. You don’t want them to look down at you making you feel like a junkie, so you lie to them all the time when they ask you. Where you have been? Where you are going? What have you spent X amount of money on? Etc etc etc, You can’t help it. We just have to lie. This is the biggest obstacle to get over when your partner finds out about your addiction. I really wish you the best with your giving up drugs and trying to rebuild your relationship..

    If you ever want any more information or help from me Stevie. Just message me on here and if there’s anything I know or anything I can say that might help in anyway. You only need to ask mate. Good luck Smax69
