Charlie~
As a recovering heroin addict(again) I understand just what you are feeling. I have thirty six days clean this time around. There is not a day that I do not crave heroin or smell it or even think about it. I have had a year of sobriety lost due to those horrendous cravings. You are right, it never goes away. But it does get easier and life does get better!! I was always told to talk about my feelings/addiction. To talk about it until that substance thought goes away. Have you tried NA meetings? The meetings can and will help you as well. Congratulations on your five weeks please keep up on your recovery. Remember we may have another relapse but NOT all of us have another recovery.
