We cant get to a meeting of NA or AA tonight because we have my nephew here for a few days.
We are feeling like we want drugs and drink ... drink more so.
We talked about what we are going to be doing on Friday with my husband
we are going to see Harry potter and go to pizza hut after, witch is fine
But then we asked if we could get some drink , my husband said that if am doing NA and AA we cant just have drinks when ever we want them and go to the meetings if we really want to be able to recover we have to stop with drinking and taking drugs we agree with him but we feel the cravings a lot at the moment for drinks and drugs and unsure what to do about it .
Ana one of my alters are worried about us eating too much junk food and is putting pressure on us eat under 1000 calories a day
we want to compromise but unsure what to do .

Do you have a sponsor/or someone in recovery you can call? Talk these feelings through?

Hi Ella,

I hope you enjoy the time with your nephew.

If you have cravings, know that they don't usually last long and that you can get through them. Do something that will take your mind off things for a few minutes.

And, you're right to try to compromise about ther 1000 calorie a day diet. Maybe you could try to give up some of the junk food and eat healthier meals instead and don't worry too much about the calorie intake.

Compromise is good. Feel the urge and don't pick up. How about between 1250--1500 cal but nutrious not junk. Just a thought and talking to a sponsor or someone you all trust is good.

Hello Teens ,Dakota , Ana ,Trance ,shana ,scarlet.Adults Ella ( host) Sam, Max ,Coco, Mal, kitty,Bob

you have a lot of work to do convincing all these people to combine their efforts to stop drinking/drugging.

I know it's hard. I have only one personality and it's a lot of times (against) me.
