Is anyone craving drugs lately?

[gizzy32]

Is anyone craving at all lately? What are you doing to fight through and not use? I have been craving so bad past couple days, but together we can stay strong. I find music helps, talking to others that are in the same boat and remembering how I felt in active addiction. To anyone starting out on the road to recovery and can admit to being an addict, KEEP YOUR GUARD up, recovery begins after w/d's. It does get easier, but it's times like this that tests our strength. If your craving, talk about it, dont' let it build and build, cause then we are screwed! It's ok to have moments of weakness, but it's not ok to use. Anyone craving here lately?

I can't say I'm craving as I am still taking pain meds for my back. I have retrained my brain (if that is even possible) and have only been taking 2 in the evening in order to be able to sleep without too much pain. I have promised myself that if I ever take more than prescribed I will flush the rest and deal with the pain. I do go in for steroid injections Jan 11th so hopefully that will work and I can stop taking them completely. I know I'm playing with fire but am bound and determined not to get burnt. If I do, I know what i have to do. I've weighed the risks and decided to give quality of life a try. I just pray it all works out.
Just hang in there Giz! Cravings just let us know that we are still alive and kicking! I think they are a test to keep us in line. Music is a great way to fight through. Just get busy when they hit and occupy your mind. You're doing the right thing by getting on here and posting. Everyone here will keep you in line!!!
Best of luck!!

Hey Giz, Sorry your still having cravings. I think alot of us (me for one) are having a harder time this time of year. Happy times....stress....parties.....stress. I have so much to do before the holiday.....which is 6 days from now....did I mention stress??? I keep thinking what energy those lil b@stard pills gave me. I wish I just had 1 day before Christmas that I could just rest all day. Just remember for every reason you can think of to use there are dozens of reasons why you shouldn't. I know you'll pull through this Giz. You've learned this lesson too many times to repeat it. I'm so glad your posting....I should be too. Love, Corey

hi gizzy...i think its the time of year....so much stress with the holidays and we have to fight the winter months that for me are sooo long and dreary.  yes i believe that i as an addict crave when life gets so busy and then you go through the boring periods where a good high would feel nice....but as an addict i know i can never experience that again...things that help me like you said are music...i crank it up or put on my head phones and try to forget...also keeping posting when the cravings hit...we will get you through it...hang in there my dear and keep enjoying life free....it shall pass....maria
