Cravings @ 34 days???

[addict3]

34 days and the cravings are really staying around today, can't seem to shake them. I am not going to take any but, anyone have any thoughts as to why they seem so strong? any ideas? not having a bad day, just cant get this off my mind. Holiday weekend?

Glad they are starting to subside addict. Unfortunatly I have those days too...and have given into them many times. We just each have to figure out how to get through them. Easier said than done.Hope the rest of your weekend is better. Corey

Just took a short nap. Got up and cravings are not so bad, wife wanted me to water flowerbeds, thats good therapy  for me (doing as wife asks). HA!
Anyway hoping everyone is having a good day hang in there.
I had to today, (hang in there). I think today was the worst time I have had w/cravings.
Thank You All.

I have a theroy, I think it's that darn full moon messing with everone! it has me in a funk I can not shake either.. I have been having one he!! of a pity party today. Been trying to shake it all day. No luck. Maybe I need to just get in my Jeep and ride! But Gas cost so much, I hate to just burn it up for nothing...

Craving over this way too....i think it is the busy weekend stuff and a time when i woulda used to keep up with all the social stuff going on...everything always seemd to be so much fun on pills....until i let them become a ball and chain around my leg....also some are lonely on holiday weekends and this causes triggers/cravings too for me....cathy's craving list in the health pages is on my frig right now!

I hope your back gets better. Stay away from yard work and give it a rest, good luck with your Dr. appt. sit outside and enjoy!!

Tell Rose I said hi!

[sadinmichigan]

I think that probably is it.(grilling)..just the all around summer days comming are already making me feel like that too..even certain music can trigger different things..I guess we need to avoid what we can and somehow just deal with the unavoidable..it sux..

I did talk to Rose..she is still not feeling too good. I am getting ready to give her a call..She is dreading surgery..
My back still hurts but not near as bad as it did. i just have to really watch it..I want to get outside and do some yard work etc..but I can't risk it right now..I am just glad to be walking and being able to sit without horrible pain. I have an appointment next month with a back Dr..we shall see..thanks for asking..
You have a good day too!! it's beautiful outside

I really think Lisa nailed it, I have been planning this BBQ for a couple of days and it started this A.M. and hasn't let up yet. Guess I'll feed it a steak! LOL

[Crispy]

you guys should try a energy drink. Monster m80 is pretty good and it lifts the spirits

[addict3]

Sad,
You may have hit it on the head, I am grilling today! maybe that kicked it in.
Hope you are feeling better today. how is the back?

yeah me too addict it is not an easy one to get outta mind. my nerves are rattled and cant stop the obsessing over using in my head. hang in there bro

[sadinmichigan]

I am sorry your having a hard time today..I think many things bring back those so called "lovin" feelings..the summertime..BBQ ing..etc..Especially holidays..I know that i always gave myself permission to use more for "special' occasions like..a summer day etc..It will pass my friend..We are going to have many moments or even days like that..Try to keep yourself busy..also..CONGRATULATIONS!! on day 34..luv..Lisa

[addict3]

Thanks I'll run that thru the gray matter.
Did you by chance see my post yesterday to you about gym???'s Haven't been in many years and am looking for some advice from some experienced folks.
Thanks

also think back couple days ago or last week was there something that triggered you? Maybe a stressful situation that u would normally oonly handle with being on pills? Any time u get strong cravings think about what brought these cravings on maybe a dream or a situation.

Addictive brain. Its a disease that will never go away. But never feed the beast or you become the beast.
