Hi everyone,
Sorry about the lack of posts these past 7 days but just an update for you guys,
As the "question" states today is my 25th Tramadol (and Codeine) free day and I have to report I feel awesome!
It may be the thought of beating this and getting "the monkey off my back" and out of sight for good that is the most overwhelming for me as I truly believed I was going to be "Trammed Up" for the rest of my life and could not see a way out and away from them,
I fought on my feet rather than dying on my knees and thought "Bollocks to this shite" to beat it, took the cold turkey route after 7 years of dependency ( alarmingly 500mg of Tramadol every 90 mins 5 times a day!)
I lost everything, marriage, home, trust, friends, probably very nearly my 2 children and it would of taken my life if I carried on according to professionals.
So yes it's another " If I can do it anyone can" scenario so please stick to it whether your tapering or doing the cold turkey, be strong and lean on us within these forums and get that evil "monkey" off your back for good and start living real life away from Tramadol, it's only masking our real lives!!
Great to be back trying to help and please "lean" on me if you have any questions.
Richard.
