Made it 1 week

Well today is 1 week clean!  Over the past 19 months I have only made it 7 days one other time.  It seems like i usually relapsed on Day 6.  I can tell something is different this time, my cravings are less and I feel more at peace with my addiction, realizing I have zero control over it.  

Last night I had a dream that I used and I felt so disappointed, when I woke up and realized it was a dream, I was so happy.  In the past, I would have been disappointed it was only a dream.

I've been going to therapy and it has helped tremendously with the underlying issues of the addicition.

I am finally past counting minutes, hours and days, now hopefully by the grace of God, I can start counting weeks.

Thanks for this post!! I feel the same way. Been on and off for six years, my head is in the right place this time, haven't even had cravings in the first week which is a miracle. Makes me believe in mind over matter!!

Congratulations from me too on the one week.

And I remember that feeling of knowing "something was different this time".  So hang on to that feeling it will keep you going.

Congrats again!
