You are making sense to me. Frankly, when I have cravings, I remember bottoming out and lying on the floor dying. I remember overdosing and praying to God to let me live. I need to remember that. Maybe humans do better on a rewards system but for me, remembering what that was like has helped me to stay clean and sober for 9 days. I don't ever want to do that again and I don't want to die. If those are negative statements that should be turned around, so be it. I'm still here and with God's help, I'll be here tomorrow.
