Congratulations River, your took the right road,
keep up straight,
with the time the crave will go smaller and smaller,
but you will be confronted now and them...
We all are and have to learn slowly this is not helping you but disturbing you.
I have been quitting for 1.5 years now and still have a some occasional relapse, but I am getting stronger,
and just found out this site, GOD wish I did before,
I did it on my own... HELL
and as I have no sponsor and my close friends do not understand...
Just say NO
It is not that easy as some days you are strong and some...
you just take down the fence.
They have not gone through the anxiety, the confusion, the fear, the need, the paranoia, etc.
we suffer ...
But at the end it is worth it, once you cross the Fence, your life changes.
You are in the right direction, build the life you always wanted...
we can enjoy life in so many ways, and we just do not see...
we wrongly think drinking and taking drugs is happiness.
but it is only making us ill and making us BLIND
and we do not think or see things,
life is easier we complicate it...
With time you will see back and you will be so happy you left that empty meaningless life.
Any time you are having a hard time, or doughs you can come here,
we all are in the same boat
and can and will help you to get through.
Be Happy you are getting out
and KEEP THE FIGHT
