Some people have told me that cravings completely disappear after doing the 4th and 5th steps. Was wondering if this is true. Im not sure mine will ever go away because I am bipolar.

after steps 5, 6 & 7....done one after the other.

Everyone is different, but if you are honest in the 4th step and the following with willingness, ya never know what will happen until you do them!

I know a few people who are diagnosed bipolar & claim to have "had their obsession lifted." I think it's different for everybody. I can't remember when my cravings went away...I just know I was going to a lot of meetings, working with a sponsor through the steps, and making a feeble attempt at praying to something I didn't understand.

One day it hit me that I hadn't thought about using for a long time...

Keep working on it!

I too can't pinpoint the moment the obsession lifted for me. I think it's different for everyone. I wouldn't worry about when it happens, but just be willing, open-minded and honest in the work, and it will come.
