Codeine free for 6 months and offering support

I have been free of codeine for 6 months now, I relapsed once but since then my cravings have almost completely gone. I am extremely lucky and am thankful for this everyday.

Thank you. Cravings are all part of it. Just taking it one day at a time. I am not going back to that living hell.

I went for months with minimal cravings, thinking 'this is ok, i can do this' then the cravings went I thought 'Great! I did it!' then out of no where they came back with a bang. I'd been off painkillers for months I couldn't believe it. Congrats on staying clear, you should be really proud. You are in no way a baby infact quite the opposite for beating the cravings, I wish you all the best!

Congratulations. That's great. I'm a Vicodin addict and going on my 4th day strong but I'm still a baby and crave. I visualize myself taking the pills and then say no way!!!!
Thanks for the light!
