Anyone else had a codeine addiction?

I think you may have slightly misunderstood, Evey. Have another read through the above posts and I think you'll find this is not quite the same topic as you think it is. Or if it is, it's all arguments that would be on your side of the debate. Or could at least be used that way. Don't worry - it's nothing negative - just a bit of chemistry talk is all :)
 
It's a thread about codeine addiction this sort of conversation will happen. You don't have to reply to it.

As long as its relevant and not insulting, people are free to talk about what want IMO
 
Yeah conversations will be repeated. However it will be between different people, or perhaps a couple of the same but another new person/s
 
That particular conversation has come up once or twice but not very often. I really do think you should read those posts again if you think they have anything to do with belittling codeine addiction in any way, shape or form, Evey. They just don't. Not even remotely. Completely different subject entirely. One you'd probably find quite interesting if you took the time to read properly before jumping the gun. Not meaning that in any kinda bad way whatsoever - I really do think you'd be interested in what was said, Evey. Would give you a whole new angle of attack when confronting people who are actually belittling codeine addiction :)
 
You seem to often jump straight to feeling your are under attack on this thread, when you are not.

We can only say so many times that you are not, it starts to get a bit tiring having to reassure you. I know on other threads you have had a tough time, but this thread has been fairly positive.
 
Hi everyone, so sick of myself right now. Last night I slipped took a couple of codeine I just couldn't take it anymore the aggitation and leg pain just was so bad. I've decided that working and doing this is only going to set me up for failure so I've decided to take some time off as of tuesday next week. I've getting all the things I need to follow the Thomas recipe and extra things also. It's impossible to come off a drug and go ct and work just couldn't do it. So tuesday I'm starting again but I think I better prepared now. I also have valium for the first four days (which states in the Thomas recipe) I know little slips happen and it's not setting me back completely I'm still carrying on just not with the stresses of work. Any other advice would be helpful or support. Evan though yous have all been amazing so far. <3 jxxx
 
Don't beat yourself up over a lil slip, Jade. They are virtually par for the course when tackling any addiction. They only really become a problem if used as an excuse to start using regularly again ("Well, I've messed up my taper/withdrawal plan anyway now so may as well just carry on cos I'm clearly not up to doing this..." and the like). As it stands, you've had several weeks without taking codeine and one day when you took a couple. Simple as that. It's a one-off use and there's no reason it can't stay that way if you want it to. I know it can be a big disappoinment and can lead to all kinds of negative thoughts but best to try not to dwell on such things as that can lead to a spiral of negativity for which (as all us addicts know :\) the "answer" is almost certainly going to be whatever it is you are addicted to. In reality, nothing has changed. You've still gotten this far - which is brilliant - no cause for any real concern, a slip is a slip - doesn't have to become a slide to a tumble :)<3

I think it's a good idea to take a bit of time off work if you feel it's hindering your progress. Dealing with an addiction is tough enough without adding in extra stress and responsibility. Sounds like you have a good plan in place and know what you are doing. Looks spot on to me. Hope the time off allows you the space and time to tackle your shackle without too many other distractions demanding your attention. Good luck and keep us updated <3

Thanks guys I'm not going to let this get to me I know I can do it! :-) thanks for the support. Xx
 
Don't beat your self up, i have messed up a bunch of times with Valium, i should of been off them by last Christmas. Shit happens
 
Ok ...well potentially dangerous situation.

I obtained some different codeine/para pills. These one were taking forever to filter. I decided to take the top filter off and squeeze it into the bottom filter. Still threw out a fair amount of bunk but the solution was a bit cloudy. I also took 8 pills, chopped them up and put them in water and then in the freezer. When I took them out of freezer it was frozen on top, did a tshirt method with this and threw out a bit of gunk also. I also took about8 pills just normally with approx 3200 mg of codeine. I feel a bit sick. I'm in France, don't know if I should go to hosp or if I'm just being hypochondriac.
 
Well, I went to hospital. Exactly what I thought would happen. Treated me like a fucking idiot.
I told them I may have taken too much paracetamol and that I am scared for my liver and my life, that I'd done my research on the net. They laughed at me pretty much, dismissing my Internet searching.

If I go to a regular doc in the am can they do the appropriate tests?
 
Well, they were downplaying everything I said. I had to push to get them to put me in the que. very rude, treating it like a joke. Some guy behind me thought it was very funny. Still I got a place, waited an hour, went and asked what the usual wait time is and he said 2-3 hours, making out that he has important patients to look to (which could definitely be the case) . Anyway I just thought I'm going to be here all night so Id be best to just see a doc in am. I'm feeling a lot better now also
 
Personally, I'd say don't panic you should be okay. It's unlikely you took the 4 full grams of paracetamol, and even if you did that's not a fatal amount. Back in the day when I had a big dhc habit, I lost my supply and brought some Paramol. Normally I'd try and extract the good stuff, but that wasn't possible where I was, so I very stupidly took 9 of the things. I didn't have any symptoms, but I got the LFT and blood tests at hospital cause I was worried as fuck, and my liver turned out to be perfectly healthy.
