Yesterday was day 9. I was ready to blow it. Throughout my workday, I was interrupted with thoughts of what I would have and whether or not I would tell anyone. Maybe I would have just one or two and not even tell you kind folks.

Close to my 5:00 quiting time, my mind was raging. I had succumbed to the idea of having something. Then I remembered HALT...am I hungry, angry, lonely or tired? Why yes! I haven't been able to sleep well yet, and I really was hungry. All I had at my office was a bag of chips. That with a glass of water DID take the edge off.

Happily, today is day 10.

Hi.
Congratulations on working the important basics of the program. This is simply the way I learned about “I didn’t know what I DIDN’T KNOW.”
It works IF we work it.


BE WELL

Well done benice.

Great job! For me the more I step back and look at my urges, the more I see them from a different angle and act accordingly, even if it is a bag of chips!

Good work, and I think recovery does push us to pay more attention to our bodies.

Fantastic stuff... Happy Days 10! You keep going Benice, I live by HALT, yet again something so simple it's nearly overlooked but it DOES work. Crazy how something so small can fracture a craving to bits.
