when does the urge go away?
Hello Everyone.
So Today Was A Better Day Then The Past Three Physically...But Mentally IT Was Tough. When Does It Get Easier? When Does The urge Go Away? I Have Been Broke For The Past Week And Im Scared When I Get Paid On Friday I Wont Be Able To Fight The Urge. Does It Ever Go Away?

Slowly, but surely, making it!

Yes; it does go away, as far as the constant urge. The "go get it right now" feeling eases around day 4, with what seems to be the most emotional day peaking around day 8-9. You'll get popped upside the head a few more times unexpectedly, but it's all manageable the more time that goes by. You will still get occasional cravings. Just come here; a lot of times posting what you're feeling and reading others' posts is enough to get you through it. Good luck! You can do this!

Something that helped me in the early days was having someone close by that knew my struggles and was willing to cash and disperse my paychecks to me as needed. Cash was a trigger for me. I usually did ok until i got alone with some money. I had my mom hold my cash for me, as she was the only one I couldn't scam, con, or manipulate Into giving me my money back. She knew ALL my cons and schemes, as well as an intimate knowledge of my addiction.
Hang in there, it gets easier.
