Gynormous Craving......

[dominosarah]

My hands are shaking, my mouth is watering........I just had the biggest craving ever.....I dont know what the he!! came over me.  I am coming off 11 days of work in a row....I am tired, my body aches.....I am cleaning my house, maybe this is a sign i shouldnt clean!!!  Wow this just about brought me to my knees.............I have my rock and roll on and that is helping.......I will be okay but this was just plain a$$ scary.............sara

Congrats on 20 days!!!  That is great!!!  I found after i stopped taking pills i was able to control some of the pain i had.  Hopefully the Excedrin will help.  Just dont overdo it and relax a bit.........sara

Or get the sh!ts from all the chocolate!!!!  I am going to coffee tonight with some AA friends that i havent been able to meet with lately so that will help.  This is why it is so important to take care of yourself and your recovery.   Doesnt matter how long you have been clean these cravings can hit you out of nowhere.........

I really don't know, except that I am  chronic pain suffer anyway and today has been one of those days that makes me realize that I did too much work the day before!  I have SLE and the constant headaches and muscle aches are really hard to get past.  I am today 20 days opiate free and I really do not want to go back to that.  I just took 2 Excedren back and body pain relievers so I hopeful that they will kick-in soon.  Thanks for your post Sara.  Hope your day is getting better too!

Hey sarah, where is GTMI? He would be telling you to go eat some dark chocolate. I say relax for the rest of the night, keep the tunes on and go get a pound of chocolate and get a good sugar buzz going. Then you will sleep like a baby after the crash.

I tried to post earlier but it got lost somehow.:(     I know what kind of day you have had cause it has been that kind of day for me too.  It has been a struggle!    
Hugs to you

[dominosarah]

Damn sarah i don't ever remember you posting about a craving like this and I am sorry your craving. This is how i feel for every craving, it's scary and it's like something takes over us.  Stay on here and talk, I am so proud of you for doing that. No more housework, Jacqui has to come be your maid now:) Keep the tunes on, I have a few songs that I listen to when I have cravings. Just remember it will pass and talk your way through it. Stay strong MP.
