15 days and the urge hit me!

Yesterday was Day 15 for me.

I starting having the urge or craving about lunch time. I was going day by day, but yesterday was minute by minute. It was tough. I just about gave into it.

I feel better Today. No cravings. Its weird how you can go 15 days and then all of the sudden it hits you!

I didn't have a plan for the urge. So I need to figure out what I'm going to do the next time!

Great job !!

Day 7 here. Mine hit me kind hard today. So I made a seltzer water and juice drink. It really helped. Maybe it can help you too.

I think is the fiz without to much sugar that I like.

Glad you made it Popeye. And yes, the urges can show up at any time so having a plan is helpful. One simple suggestion would be to log on here when those kinds of feelings occur. There are lots of people here who know exactly what it feels like and can help.

15 Days is fantastic!!

Yeap sticking close to SR is a solid idea moving forward, something to short circuit your own thoughts, a second opinion on things, you'll find it here!!
