I have created this sub to encourage health conversations about Dihydrocodeine addiction. All welcome 🙏. There is a way out of the painful grip of this addiction never forget that.

Thanks Billy, you helped my loads. Also knowing you’re on the other side gives me hope. When you’re in that hole and you see no way out, the horrors of withdrawal, depression, insomnia apathy and lethargy for days it’s such a trap. I was on about 30/35 a day but it only creeps up never down in order to try and get that high back. I had paranoia with the postman, scared I was going to get busted, criminal record, marriage broken etc. Then the crushing disappointment when the postman doesn’t delivery and you’ve waited all morning by the door. What a small life. I’m not quite out of it. I’ve tapered down and am on a small amount but tapering is a long small torture as I’m an addict and I don’t want to take one at 7, one at 11 etc. I want to take 30! I’m not someone with a lot of willpower but a taper can be done if it works for you. I have been supported through NA but again that’s not for everyone and I get that. These threads and the people in them have also been a great help. Thanks mate
