A New Day:
The first step... is to admit you are a codeine addict !
But what IF you tell them so who are supposed to care for you.. for over 2 years you are a addict and they don't listen,,, and keep supplying the addict...
Well My addiction grew to 14-16 tablets a day ( 30mg per tablet ) And no matter how much I cried and begged.. not once person ( Dr/Nurse ) aided me.
Until 2 weeks ago.. when it became crunch time with a New Dr.
I am happy to say my addiction is now on a tapering step administered by a Dr, tablets are given to me ONCE a day and are reduced ONCE a week, The first week was 12 Tablets, Week Two is 9 tablets ( I am on this step now ! ) The Next step I will reduce down to 6 Tablets and then the following week 3 and then.. None.
An so because of this I have deleted my Tracker as I am NOT Codeine free as of YET.
But I can see the sun now and I feel confident and happy for once.
This weekend in the UK its been a bank holiday and so on Saturday I had Codeine for the whole weekend including the Monday ( today ) Saturday I picked up the box come evening and took my evening dosage.. and was tempted to take more as per before.. BUT.. I stopped myself pushed the box aside and then placed it BACK in the draw where they belong.. I felt such a great sense of achievement within myself for what I had done and even now looking back I can see... I CONTROL MY ADDICTION.. MY ADDICTION DOESN'T CONTROL ME !
I feel so very bad though for making it seem via my tracker I was codeine free.. I wasn't !
BUT do not dismay and do not fear.. I shall not slip and I shall not fall let alone waiver.. for when I am the other side.. I will be there waiting for you !
