Bad Craving

I am having some really bad craving today.  First if you don't know I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I hurt all over.  I have a heat pack on my back as I sit here and type.  Second I had a dream that I did cocaine!!  What is up with that??!!  I took pills not coke, why would I have a dream about doing that?  How do I ease the cravings to go look for pills anywhere?

Really! Dark chocolate helps. Get a really dark 70% cocoa. There is something in chocolate that helps slow cravings and lifts mood. It's not a trick used by women during pms to justify eating chocolate.LOL

Thank you for all of your help.  I am at work so I am somewhat busy, but when I have some downtime my mind goes back to the pills.  That is why I am here, to keep my mind off of it.

Oh sweetie, this is the hardest part. Try to do what Cathy said. I go to the mall but if your're in pain or at work that might be hard.  I feel for you on the pain. I hope it goes away. You know you really don't want a pill and go through the guilt and everything that goes with that. Stay strong, we're all here for you.

Big hugs!!

Melissa

That is a strange dream, have no clue what it means!!
