I have been abusing codeine, 150mg at least up to 400mg at most, over the last few days, with a few breaks of up to 10 days over the last 6 months. When I have detoxed in this time my partner has been away so it has been manageable. This time I have to do it while he is around, and he has made it very very clear that if I was to use again it would be over. He cannot know. Without going into my whole long story I used to be a heroin addict for a couple of years before I got together with this partner. My last major relapse ruined our wedding plans. After that I was clean for over a year and became pregnant but then lost the baby. In hospital miscarrying they gave me morphine, even knowing my history, and sent me home with a script for panadeine forte 30mg codeine 500mg paracetamol. Not long after I injured my neck and shoulder badly and got another script for same. Then a month later my Dad passed away. All this slowly led to me becoming addicted to codeine again.
I tried to go c/t 2 weeks ago pretending I had the flu but lapsed on day 3 when I had a lot to do and was feeling the worst. Now I am preparing to try again tomorrow. It is impossible for him to not notice I am ill so I will do my best to be productive and upbeat but will have to claim I have the "flu" AGAIN. He is getting very suspicious already, asking if I am taking anything. I am terrified of losing him he means the world to me and is my last chance of having a child before I'm too old.
I have some tyrosine, valium and loperamide as all as vitamins, magnesium etc. I will start taking naltrexone after day 5. I am just looking for some support accountability and encouragement as I feel so alone scared and terrible about my relapse and lying to my love.
Please send me some words of encouragement, I really have to do this now.
