Intense craving!
 
I'm coming up on two months. No alcohol or drugs. It's a hot day and it looks and feels like we're going to have a thunderstorm in the next hour. I didn't realize that this was one of my triggers. I'm having an INTENSE craving. I'm sitting in the car .... and I know I could just turn the key and be at the liquor store in minutes ... for some reason I'm still just sitting here. Just writing this down is helping ... but every nerve in my brain wants me to be high along with the thunderstorm!!!

Thanks for listening

Hi Bruce

I think you'll find enough to marvel at in a storm without being high...:)

Everytime we face stuff like this we move a little farther away from the things that used to control us :)

stay strong - you're doing great :)

Thanks. Sorry about the high drama. I just wasn't quite sure what else to do but to start typing. Now it's raining too hard to go anywhere. That was the worst craving I've had in a long time and it came out of nowhere. Strange.
