Its normal sweetie! Baby steps! Important thing is that you get through hour by hour , one choice at a time! You have come soooo far! I'm sorry you are in so much pain but as the above posts say their are a few things you can do to make it more comfortable! When you start getting really bad cravings it is super important to get your mind busy on something else! No turning back! So proud of you!

YES!!! A hot bubble bath and music!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't let hubby get to you. I know that's easier said than done. He sounds like a jerk!!! Why is it when we need them the most they act like that? Wives do it also. Unless they've been in our shoes they can't understand. Right now you come second to God only. God Bless you and comfort

"to wish I had some at times when my pain gets so bad. It's not that I'm that strong, I also don't have any and can't get any."  This is what tooter said above .....This is what is most important for where you are at right now at 21 days.  It will get better and you will probably notice less frequent and less intense cravings as time goes on.  Just keep going and take it day by day.This is how we all do this.   great job on 21 days !!   that is awesome ;)

My arthritis is killing me today. I need to go exercise. My husband stays on my case about exercising. Says I'm lazy if I don't. I don't know if I should just go get supper started and relax, or go for a jog. Like I said arthritis is killing me.... But in so stressed and tired. Ideas?

Amen, consider yourself hugged; not just a regular hug, but a super hug!

I to wish I had some at times when my pain gets so bad. It's not that I'm that strong, I also don't have any and can't get any. That in it's self is a blessing. I just don't want anyone to think that I all that strong either. My brother offered me some but I said no. He's in bad health and lives about 1 hour from me so it would be hard on me to get to them. We can beat this together, so let's all give each other a hug and do it

Yes cravings suck and they may go away for a while and then all of a sudden just bite you. :( I still have cravings but as soon as I get one I start moving around turn on my music and keep my mind busy. You have got this honey just push through it!

I'm on day 15 and having them really bad as well today.  I think when I get super stressed at work the cravings come so strong at me. I'm lucky to have cut all my sources; I don't know what I'd do if I had access.
We have to keep eachother strong!!  Keep sharing.  I think telling on ourselves is a huge part of staying clean.
