This past weekend I was craving really bad the whole weekend. I kept talking it out, coming here, reaching out to others in recovery, PRAYING, and basically anything to keep my mind occupied. I also kept remembering to breathe to bring my mind back into focus. I kept reminding myself that I'm getting healthier each day I stay sober. I kept doing all these things continually and I made it through the weekend.
Here it is Monday and no cravings at all right now. If I had drank this past weekend, I'd still be craving more right now and the craving would be stronger. I stayed sober so now I'm stronger!
They pass if you let them... they really do.
