Hi, Norther and Crow, Welcome to the Group!
Crow, I definitely can relate to the idea of feeling like an addict throughout my life. Sometimes it feels like I'm hop-skotching through various addictions, and it seems that moderation just isn't part of my behavior. It's great you're joining up--keep on trucking ODAAT! You're making a whole lot of positive changes in your life
Oddman, is there anyone who knows you are going sober? I read one way to combat cravings is, whenever you experience a real bad one, give that person a call and have him/her talk you out of it, reaffirm all the reasons you quit and stuff like that. Two heads and all that.
