stop "romancing" the drug... PLEASE focus on the destruction that the drug has done.. the pain it has caused you, and your loved ones. the money wasted, the damage to your body...
The addiction is doing all that it can to trip you up right now. that is the disease. You need to be strong.. some days are bad.. but tomorrow will probably be better. hang in there.. and force yourself to remember why you chose to stop in the first place. keep reaching out!!

hi barchx,its been a long time for me so its kinda hard now as i try and go back to feeling like i want a hit..im now so repulsed by the thought it seldom consciously crosses my mind..what i can tell you is that when u get that feeling stop and think of whats going to actually happen ..i'll share what usually happens a few minutes of thinking u feel great.. then the spiral.. the need for more to continue ur expectancy on that same feeling.. causes u to do more and more and more.. but ur continually empty inside ur now out of control.. u spiral lower giving up on bills,plans,goals,dreams..u want this good feeling..that drives u mad,broke and lonely..in the end..ask urself will this really make u feel good..hell..u got 27 days of peace..one day at a time u'll really find things that'll make u feel good only they can last eternity..its a good trade to me..hang in there and play that tape all the way threw b4 u think its going to make u feel good.

Move a muscle,change a thought.
Don't dwell in the thought,as soon as you recognise the thought,do something to take your mind off it.Call a new friend,wash dishes,go through old mail.Anything that will occupy your mind.Cravings will come,but they will also go.If you go to meetings,announce the cravings,you will receive some advice.If you talk to a higher power,ask it to remove the desire,obsession and compulsion to use.

Most cravings (for anything) have a lifespan of about 5-10 minutes. It was helpful for me to have someone I could call up just to say, "hey, I'm in a rough spot this very minute, can you please talk to be about ANYTHING?" I had a great friend help me out with this when I stopped using and my BF didn't. Distraction worked well for me. Going out for a quick walk, even if it's just a quick lap or two around your block can help too. Changing your thought is key, as tsimps mentioned. Good luck to you!
