Hey, Glee! I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it struggling with cravings. It's more that it crosses my mind and passes right through. It is a good reminder that I need to stay aware. The few times I have had cravings, I have thought it through to its conclusion which killed the desire very quickly! During IOP what kept me sober for much of it was knowing that I wouldn't be able to lie about it and once I slip, it's too easy to do it again. I have one more IOP session next week. Although I'm feeling much stronger, I think i have enough of a healthy respect for the risks and temptations that I'm cautious at the time this is ending. I plan to further ramp up AA meetings to reduce the risk. I most definitely don't want to blow this now!!!
