I measure my success in the fact I don't give into them anymore. That is success to me. I can ride them out and know that I have different ways of coping with them now. And that makes me feel good .
Thanks, LadyinBC. Yeah, the swell of a craving really feels discouraging at times, but I just have to ride it out. To tell ya the truth, I don't need a bad day either to get one, but, when I HAD a VERYBADDAY yesterday it was a tidal wave of a craving. However, with all the support on here, I got through it and even managed some sleep!

I am feeling good that I have made it this far, and I thank you for reminding me of that success.
