Another Roll Call

[gizzy32]

It's only been a few weeks since I did a roll call, but I want to read about all your success regardless if it's only a day clean. I am craving bad today and just want to cry, swear and maybe punch somebody, lol.

Please brag about your clean time and how your feeling now after stopping? What helps you the most get through a big craving? For me, talking about it right away makes a huge difference, although I guess I still have trouble admitting when I am weak, but right now I am weak. Using is not an option, but those head games are just crazy. Let's hear some positive and brag away everyone. We can do this together, one day at a time:)

I am getting close to 5 months clean again, congrats to all.

Lucky 77 days for me today:) What helps me get through a craving  is coming on here, throwing myself into my art, or just blasting the music and dancing full force around the condo. Then if that still doesn't work I'll take a drive to the ocean. Water calms me for some reason, and watching a sunset, or getting into nature in any way seems to do the trick.

And when all that doesn't do the trick I'll make a really great lunch or dinner with comfort foods and just chow. Or, take a nap. Usually when you wake up it's passed.

Just remember how you felt when you relapsed. How sh!tty it felt, how the guilt just killed you. That one works too.

And truly, when all else fails, I just remember what Vicki told me about the hole getting infected and how it could travel up into my brain and first I will lose my memory, then go unconcious and inevitably die. THAT will do it! Thanks Vicki!!

Really nice to read all of these. Very inspiring. 23 days and counting even if it is reluctantly sometimes. But this makes me feel like it will be ok. Thanks everybody!
