Hi Karaw, welcome to SR

I have no experience with pills but well done on 15 days sober.

Karaw

I like that. Sober people in 12 step programs are the most noble in so Irtysh. Sure would be nice to be one of them.

Welcome to SR Karaw,

My poison of choice was Alcohol. But an addiction is an addiction right?

Have you consulted your doctor before quitting cold turkey? It's always a good idea and will give you peice of mind.

Best of luck

Karaw

That's a good point. Yes I have. I was going to go on naltrexone but I'm at a point in my life where I am taking a pill for everything e.g champix for nicotine etc.
I might have to though. Your right an addiction is an addiction my codeine habit only started6 months ago before then I never went near it ! Ugh now I have ANOTHER addiction to face

Glad to hear you are quitting. That's a lot of Ibuprofen to be ingesting. I second the idea of seeing a doctor and making sure you are okay.

Thanks. Cute doggy pic I love my dog. )

Welcome Karaw

I think the advice to see a Dr is good - they can advise you on what they think you should do and make sure that everything physically is ok with you.
