day 13 and holding strong...................

today is day 13 and i am feeling good, the cravings come and go sometimes they are strong, sometimes they are not.  when they hit, i pick up my book, i go for a walk, i watch a film, anything to distract me, and it helps!! I know this will be a long process, but i am ready for it.  We can do this :-)

          Your doing go, now for the withdrawals like the other post said keep your mind occupied do you have a na book I suggest you get one you will read and relate to stories in this book and you will say wow sounds like my story that's were you get a little stronger reading this book.  Maybe a meeting substance abuse.  Do you work if not you still can stay busy during the day usually we want to stay in our comfort zone but we need to get out of it some maybe go to walmart. or target, or to a restaurant and just sit around and drink some coffee.   You can do it hang in there.  Let go let God.

Congrats on 13 days!!  The cravings will lessen with time but they still will appear when you least expect it.  Always keep that guard up!  sara

i read somewhere that they usually last for 20 minutes and yeah, they come in waves, some of them stronger than others and you are doing what we  are supposed to be doing.. staying busy, watching some Law and Order or CSI chapter ;) , going for a walk, reading....that is, we don't feed the craving...
