Unhappy Craving drugs today....need help

Don't know what to say.......I feel I'm obsessing about Pot....even though I made up my mind to never do it again.....I got a drug dealer's phone number & I even drove past his house but thankfully he wasn't home......Need to talk....I can't afford to do it again...I've made too many promises to other people & myself....

Hi Sh777ah,
Alcoholic here. I'm with you. I felt like I was reaching for a beer earlier today. Had that feeling for several hours. I just stayed with SR and it passed. What's going on in your life that might be triggering you?

Good choice. You can do it. One moment at a time just say no.
The promise to your self.... For me I will not smoke today. Deal with it one day at a time. One moment at a time if need be.

You have made some great choices, you can continue to do so.
YOU CAN DO IT

I listened to some 60's music which I used to smoke to which triggered the craving but I haven't touched Pot today.....

I took a small dose of Valium to calm me down just till I get past the cravings & I feel a little better now.....

Would want to be careful trying that.
Could end up trading one addiction for another.

Yeah I know it sounds bad, Best....but I'm not addicted to Valium...I can usually take it or leave it & it was only a small dose.....

I have a Psychiatric condition & believe me Valium isn't as harmful to me as Pot is........

Good that you can see that.
A warning given where a problem could have been is better then sitting and saying nothing. Seems you know yourself well and know where a balance is as far as the Valium.
Not as harmful as... but for many it could be as harmful or even more harmful.

Good to see you have a handle on it.
