Hello all, i’m new to this chat. Am on my first day clean from a year long codeine addiction where I was taking up to 24, 30/500mg co codamol pills a day. I found that i used pills to help me deal with stress and bad feelings as I hate discussing my issues with people. I’ve decided to stop but i’m feeling really worried about relapsing as i’m already experiencing some withdrawal symptoms but I am trying to stay positive. Do you have Any advice on how i can keep busy to help me ignore the withdrawal? Thank you
