Day 3

Yesterday I was having intense urges to use, especially while driving around doing arrons. However I fought them off and am proud to be sober today.

Hi Nick,

Congratulations for resisting those urges yesterday - it is very difficult at first, I know. Just get through it this time so you don't have to go through it again. Best wishes!

Thanks guys. Detoxing is alright. Just eating lots of food and drinking lots of water.

Way to go, Nick!!

I had bad cravings at first, too, and it really helped knowing that if I got through them, I'd be so grateful the next day. It took a while before the mental obsession started to fade, but it was SO worth it! Stay strong!
