Help 
Hi Guys, this is the first time i've posted here so bare with me please. I'm 38 and from 18 to 30 my life was IV Heroin and the daily grind that went with it. I got clean and was abstinent for a few years before coming down with a horrible thing called Costocondritis. I wrestled with it for a while before giving in and using OTC codeine. Before long i was getting the stronger ones prescribed along with Trams and pregablin. Within 3 or 4 months i was starting to feel W/Ds in the mornings and becoming accustomed to the warmth of the codeine. Where i live you can order codeine linctus online so that followed and was fairly quickly replaced with PST and pods. So to cut a long story short i've found myself with a nasty little opiate habit again. Problem being in the time i was clean i became an addiction worker and had a couple of daughters so that old lifestyle CANNOT become a reality again. I've decided that i just cant be trusted with painkillers so i've taken a week off work and today is cold Turkey day 1. In my cupboard i have some pregablin, Trams, Loperimide and the usual mix of vitamins and suchlike. I want to make the detox as comfortable as is possible to achieve but without prolonging it. I would appreciate any advice or experience anyone has with these things? In the past i would just eat valium and smoke weed through the worst of it but i've not touched benzos since way back then as the WDs from those were easily as bad as the heroin. I hope i've kept within the rules of the forum and thanks to anyone who takes the time to read. :D
