Too anyone who doesn't think codeine is addictive enough to worry about, or is thinking on giving it a whirl-

Well, I wanted to post this because, even though codeine is a weaker opiate than many out there, it is very addictive none the less.

I am amazed at the "control" over it, that I dont have.
Somewhere in the neighbourhood of about 2 weeks ago, I started using this stuff again because I had to somehow stop abusing other meds.

Swapping one addiction for another is beyond stupid, I know, but in my addict brain, it seemed like a good idea.

But anyway,back to how addictive this stuff is
Now, maybe I'm weaker than a lot of folks.........I dont know, but my use has more than quadrupled (sp) in just 2 weeks.

I've easily taken 1000 pills in 10-14 days and I cant seem to stop.
My skin is itchy and my arms are scabbing up and i have a pain (off and on)where my liver is located.

Now I know that I cant stop on my own, I realized that yesterday.

In all my going to NA (here and there) this will be the first time I will have to use the phone list to stop this madness.

My point is .........codeine mucked me over quick and will do the same for you, if you flirt with it.

Please don't.

I might add............ I am thoroughly ashamed of myself.
