During the first few weeks I avoided relapse stories. They were a massive trigger. When every hour was an achievement taking me closer to a better place, reading that someone was still craving this much after months (months was like a life time) was ridiculously depressing.

It always made me feel there was no point i fighting this hard. It obviously did not mean that others should not write about their cravings or relapses.

Now I read posts like yours and they inspire me: to remain vigilant, to look for the dangerous signs, to reach out when it happens, to trust myself.

So thank you for sharing Sohard.
