Get out of the house, go for a walk, eat something, wait for the craving to go. When I had bad cravings, no amount of good reasons could stop me. I just had to distract myself until the craving passed (they do pass!) and I always so happy that I hadn't caved.

please do not use..remember the guilt.

Using will only lead to another craving. If you want to stop cravings you have to stop using.

Don't give in. You'll never have to go through this again. And giving in only make the next round of withdrawals worse.

Stay strong.

My post is above yours.... Drinking is a living hell..... Do it for me xxxx

DONT DO IT!! Just remember how bad you will feel after the fact. You will be really disappointed in yourself. It's not worth it. I wanted to give in so badly last night but I didn't and today I can feel proud of myself for not doing it. If you do it today then you will do it tomorrow....think positive!!!

Dorris

Hi Anathaine just wondering how your doing

don't do it today is my first day and i am going to fight like hell

anathaine

Oh u guys I held out and then I lost the battle, I have disappointed YOU guys
More than I've disappointed myself. Its like....I know only *I* can abstain.
I feel if I cry out again on the forum then u will see me as a lost cause and tell me I'm not trying hard enough,
I'm so scared of that. Have not been to a meeting this week sober. Went on monday but was stoned.
My DOC is codeine cough syrup.
Thank u for ur support - thank u so much. Luv A

Keep posting here, failure or success. Eventually it will be success.

But I wonder if SR will be enough for you. Are there resources in Cape Town for drug abuse? Narcotics Anonymous? Any kind of social services? Church outreach? You need something more it seems.

Start by telling your "friends" you desire to quit and not to supply you with your DOC.

You are doing what a lot of us have done. Please keep posting. Go to your meetings and lets try again. You can and will do this. We are here for you.

Don't beat yourself up! We've all been there. Just keep trying. Quitting isn't a linear, easy thing. I was shocked and dismayed at myself when I slipped right away and a friend of mine reminded of this. Sometimes it's two steps forward one step back but you'll get there. Take baby steps, reach out for all the support you can get and keep trying.
