I had a nasty cough about a week and a half ago. Got some CorBar
Linctus. Which contains 10mg Codeine for every 5ml and 20mg of
Ephedrine for every 5ml. One bottle is 200ml. Since the cough I'm on
two bottles a day.

Now we come to why! As most you know or those of you who have been
following my post's I'm coming home to the UK on the 9th of August.
Everytime I take the codeine the pain and sadness of leaving my wife
and daughter behind is easier to manage.

Tomorrow is my last working day, I shall need some to get through
that. Then I'm off work till the flight. Seeing as it's been such a
short time will the withdrawals be harsh. Is there anything to do to
help?

The last time I was addicted to codeine I found wine really helpful,
you know one of those 5 litre boxes of sweet red wine.

My question is this. I aim to quit after I have done my days work. How
bad can I expect things to feel.

Oh and please don't give me a lecture about how I shouldn't have got
addicted. I'm going through some serious life changes and when you
find yourself something that eases the pain, naturally you continue to
use it.

And yes I know I'm prolonging the inevitable comedown/depression. Well
at least when I get to the UK they don't freely hand out codeine over
the counter. So the addiction will stop. Also I'm going back to sort
my head out so...whatever blah blah blah

If you do feel the need to tell me off, flame me whatever. Please do
it nicely I'm a sensitive individual at the moment. Take that in to
consideration.

I don't sadness is the kind of "pain" relief that codeine is prescribed for.
Don't you think you have enough issues going on right now in your life
without adding the difficulties of codeine withdrawal into the mix? Get some
counselling. Sadness due to separation or divorce is quite common in our
society today. There are numerous support groups available to discuss your
sense of loss with others who are going thru the same feelings as yourself.
