Day 2

I am having intense cravings today and I am feeling really down today. The physical side of the w/ds are not that bad. I wish the cravings would go away.

The lack of energy is what kicked my butt because I have always been so active. It's amazing what we take for granted. The happiness will come and it will be overwhelming. It feels so good. I know once I had a week clean time under my belt I would smile for no reason. The withdrawals are worth every second of it!! Keep going strong and know it will get better and soon!!

When cravings hit you need to find something that takes your mind to another place. Try listening to music in a dark room while laying down and breathing slow in and out. Try and pick up a good book or do a puzzle. Anything to fight through it!! Just keep going strong and know that each day will get easier and the cravings will be less and less. You are doing a great job so keep it up!!!
Best of luck!

Hang in there, cravings are a nightmare, but they good news is they will pass. You just got off these pills 2 days ago, so fight through, the rewards are many. Cravings are part of being an addict, I went through 3 days of them lately, which is so rare for me now, but as long as we stick to the plan and get some help and support, there is no excuse to use. With some clean time, the cravings don't happen as much and usually not as intense as in early recovery, but we always have to be prepared. Congrats on 2 days clean, it will get better:)
