Does she know you are taking codeine?

Well, several days without is great. You are not going to feel any worse than you do now from withdrawals. You will probably struggle to sleep for a while, but that is part of coming off any opiate, so don't feel you will never sleep without them again.

The fact you only used them at night is good in that you didn't use them to cope during the day, so hopefully, your mental addiction (if there is one) won't be quite so strong. I used them for everything - work, housework, going out, staying in! Can't imagine life without them, sometimes.

Keep posting, keep reading - you are certainly not alone if you find you are an addict. Esp. with pain meds, it happens to so many people. There is a forum just on that actually - pain and recover etc.
