Laura- 8 days clean is great! You can make it through today. It's a craving stay busy and it will pass. Keep thinking of all the reasons to stay sober. Tomorrow will be a lot better day with your parents if you feel good!

I think the craving may pass once you eat some pizza and drink some water. You could be hungry or thirsty.

Laura, Day 9 was my "day" like this. . .like you are experiencing. I made it through and I know you can, too. I believe it is just part of the healing process.

Just do the next right thing, vacuum, clean a window or drawer. Watch a funny movie, take a walk. Make it through and you will be so glad you did.

Good job posting here before you do anything. I'm with Bimini and MidWest - eat or have some water and find something to take your mind off of it. You've gotten through a week, keep going. Think about how good you'll feel tomorrow.

I found, thoughts are just thoughts, we don't have to act on them. Ignore that AV, it wants to pull you back. You've gone 8 days!! Why go back and suffer again?

I'm happy you came here and shared.

You're worth more than any drug, Laura.

So firstly my partner is back in work this week and willonly be home weekends from then on ( i wont do it weekends then cos its the only time we have together and i wont in the week cos my parents will always be here) this is mylast chance to have fun i guess thats how i feel. Also my partner is upstairs on hiis own and im downstairs on my own so i think why not i know its pathetic but its there

Thanks guys i feel sick and cold its horrible i really want it but it looks like i cant anyway

you aren't a child trying to sneak a cookie out of the jar when no one is looking.....your parents aren't here to keep you sober, nor your partner. time to tug up the big girl panties and make the clear FIRM commitment to not using today under any circumstances, PERIOD. YOU take charge. You choose.

Hi Laura
I had the exact same feeling as you described the other day.
Just remember that everything is temporary!
It will pass just like everything else!
