Just be weary of this pattern of thinking and to not expect too much in the beginning. It takes at best 1 year to fully recover from even craving the substance and/or not using the substance. It takes years after that to recover and get the mind back to some healthy thought process.

Recovery takes YEARS and not WEEKS or MONTHS. Please keep focused and be realistic about it. Trust me......I had to gain that same perspective. Eventually, I let go.
