Appointment

Just received an appointment for June 17. It says for an assessment. Im in the uk. What will they do with me n why so long to wait???? If i stick to my 15mg x 4 mg taper (my mam has posted all the pills back to me through the letterbox) then will i need this appointment or their help? That will show im not an addict right?
What do i do?????!
Im going to go but i dont want to go at same time as im scared n as it's only codeine they may have a right go at them for wasting their time or take my child away???
Advice pls?

Hello again Dear....If the wine, codeine, pills, or any Other mind altering substance is not a problem, then just stop all of it and prove to yourself that you are not an addict. Being that your Dad is an alcoholic you already possess that gene. As I stated in an earlier...you could have a really bad disease other than addiction. Own it, swallow it and get on with your life while you have the chance. Find a power greater than YOURSELF and give yourself a chance. Do it Babe!

honey i think deep down you know you are an addict, otherwise you would not have come to an addiction forum....i will also be praying for you...i hope you find the peace you need and for your daughter's sake as well...please stop before it gets any worse.  The advice you have been given is all true and from the heart and from experiences of many people....please take it to heart. Being an addict does not mean you are a bad person, it's a disease but you can put it in remission....take care of yourself AND your daughter.

OH BOY..This is like hitting our heads up against a Wall..We have been over & over & over this with you in many Post..Some that got pulled..How long now 2-3 weeks it seems..You got more information about this issue than I have ever seen any body else get..With all do respect.I think you need to go and talk with a Physiologist..There is alot of Reason Deep inside on why we want to run from our selves..If you can just get to a DR or even a Treatment Center they can help you address all that is going on inside you..I really Pray you do see the Light sooner then never...
