I am terribly addicted to codeine, taking now 30 x 30/500mg per day. I cannot function without 10 first thing in a morning. There are various reason's for the addiction, the start of which around 2000 I had severe pain. I work all over the world, and my doctor is more than happy to prescribe 2 months supply at once, then other people I know have spare and inevitably I inherit them. The problems started when I went to work in Ethiopia, which was not long after I was first prescribed CoCodamol, I came back from a month in Addis Ababa, and then went to Ghana, the result of these trips was that I became very depressed, over the years of backwards and forwards to Ethiopia I learned to comfort myself with CoCodamol, but the pivotal point was May 2008, I was caught up 100miles from the epicentre of the earthquake in China, and people I was working with lost entire families, 1000's of family. I was stuck there 10 days and since that day my life changed. My relationship with my wife broke down the first time I came back from Ethiopia, I had another girlfriend for 8 years and the earthquake ruined that relationship. BUT I met a lady whom I love dearly and COCODAMOL WILL ruin that, and that is why I am seeking help. I have trawled the internet for help. My working life now revolves around CoCodamol. I am going to Australia working in 3 weeks and the company offered to pay for me to go to Bali for a week, but I can't, I cannot get enough CoCodamol to last me 3 weeks instead of the 2 in Australia, so I will travel home alone. etc etc etc

Any suggestions??
