Great job on 7 mos. Yes..Be very proud.
I know what you are talking about.
I usually switch from using to over eating.
Replacing one habit with another.
I never thought of it as soothing myself in another form.
HMM..You have made me think here.
But it usually goes away after like a month and I feel better by being more involved with my family.
I got lots of family and plenty kids to keep me busy. Not mine..My cousins kids.
I am really hating it because as a result of me totally being an idiot and letting things get really bad this year. I am without my phone...cable..and internet right now. Which is really trying on my boredom.
But I have also noticed...I am keeping up on my neatness and dabbling around the house to stay busy and keep my mind off drugs.
But I am only in the very very early stages.
I wonder if I too will get over trying to stay busy for now and go back to over endulging in some way later down the line.
All I can tell you is you should be very comfortable with yourself and proud.
Staying clean is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. And 7 mos is fantastic!!
I am sure it will pass as everything else does.
