Had a bad day

Hello im new to this forum, and this is my first post. I was an opiate addict for 4 years, and am coming up on 13 months sober. But today, iv had the most intense cravings to buy a little bit for the first time since i was starting to get clean, I know where that road leads, and just need some support to keep me from falling back down. Thank You and stay strong everyone

Welcome to SR. nosamn20!!!

I don't know much about opiates and how to deal with that craving but I do know SR is a pace to be for support. So glad you are here.

Keep fighting. 13 months is a long time to be sober and tomorrow is worth protecting. So keep strong.

As we have heard said before
play the tape out of what happens every time
it never goes good for long
and it is such a hard pit to climb back out of (if ever to escape again ?)

Welcome, Nosamn, I'm glad you recognized the craving coming along at this point in your recovery. Who knows what that's about, but the main thing is that you know what's happening and you're dealing with it.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to make it. Just getting even a little support has really help me push through. Also I can help out any who is in the early stages or wanting to get clean with opiates

Congrats on 13 months, that's amazing. Opiates are a really different kind of beast. I hope you keep reaching out for support if or when the cravings start to creep in. We are always here!

Hello nosamm

13 months is incredible. A sincere congratulations. Like you said you already know where the road leads. Stay strong my friend. Once those temporary cravings dissolve you can move forward with your permanent sober life. Again great job on 13 months!

Proud of you man!! You can get through it, it's going to get worse before it gets better; but once it's better it is beyond worth it. The pills are strong but you are stronger. remember that!! It helps to keep you focused
