I don’t crave like I use to. These days they aren’t as strong. Sometimes they hit back to back. I feel like a poison is calling me and I know it only wants to hurt me. I am stronger today than I was yesterday.

That’s powerful. You’re recognizing the pull, but you’re standing stronger against it. That’s growth. That’s resilience. Keep pushing forward—every day you win this fight, you’re proving just how strong you really are. What’s been helping you the most on the tough days?

Right now, my cravings seem to have control over me. I used to be such a strong minded person, confident and now I’m just the opposite. It’s grasp has such a hold on me. And it seems the harder I fight it, the stronger it has over me. I don’t even know who I am anymore. I look in the mirror and I don’t recognize the person looking back. I feel so defeated. - g

It seems to me when cravings or urges come on they only last a few minutes now. I learned just to think of them as visitors…they come into my head but they are not welcome to stay there. just visit and move on. I have less and less urges but they come at strange times now. My addictions are very tricky and know me well from the past, so sometimes a urge will come in at a totally unexpected time…like when I accomplished something. Its almost sometimes like the addiction tries to sneak in this way or that. I just try to be mindful
