I'm having a craving!!! A bad one!
Hey everybody... I'm having a bad cravng!!! I can't seem to get the pills out of my mind! That's all I'm thinking about! I've done eveything on my list I made for myself fr when I do get cravings and when I get done it still comes back! I can't seem t shake it!!!!! It's annoyng! I hate postng this but I'm putting pride to the side and my recovery to no 1! I think what brought it on is that today's my bday and I can't remeber th last tine I had a sober bday. I was always gven free pills and free drinks! Tonght I'm going out with people from work and be sober while everyone else makes fools of theirselves! It'll be a different experience for me but I can do it! I won't go If I am still having this craving!!!!
I agree. All you keep saying is how you get high and doing nothing about it as we fight to stay clean here. Maybe it's time to look into rehab. Get some help!
You have come on here every day now for what?..Two weeks?, to tell us that you used today or the night before. There are 125 posts on this thread of people trying to help you. You need to start listening and learn to ask for help BEFORE you get high.
People will be here to help you Ang but you have to want it and you have to ask for it.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

I have been there before so I am not the one to judge, I just wanted to say that I am rooting for you. One thing that helped me was this day dream of seeing myself as a helpless little boy trapped in a vicious bubble and although everyone around was screaming, crying and hoping the save the little boy, the only person that could burst the bubble and get him out was me. Whenever, I would think of that dream, I would also think of The Antwone Fisher Story, when they ask, "Who is going to cry for the little boy?" and tears would flow down my face, because I knew that it was me who would have to go and do it.
I hope you realize that there is beautiful little girl named Ang in a bubble that desperately needs you to work hard at saving her.....I wish you the best.

yes, dear... it is a good sign...we harm ourselves in many ways for a lack of selfsteem... it takes some time building up the selfsteem and the first step is to stop harming our life, our health.... what i would like you to understand is that you don't need to have this selfsteem at its highest peak to be able to break this vicious cycle....we start with one little step here, another one there....because what we just know is that we don't want hurting ourselves any more....
don't overthink a lot now... just stop the behaviour that is hurting you the most right now, tell yourself that you won't go out. don't think more about the fun and take this step now... :) don't say you can't.... say that YOU CAN :)

It is great that you are looking for the reasons why you choose to numb and harm yourself. And it is also wonderful that you are talking about it. The problem is we are not psychiatrists here or addiction counselors and that is why we suggest that you go and start your counseling and dive in.
You had mentioned that because of your work schedule you cannot go see him until the 30th. Do you think that is an excuse? You found plenty of time to party, now find the time to get well.
We're pulling for you.

I think the thing 4 me is I feel as if I don't deserve good things.. When I start getting good things I will be honest here, I will do what it takes to lose that thing, person, place, etc cause I dont feel I am worthy enough to have these things. It all comes fromthe verbal and physical abuse I suffered from an abusive ex from 7 years ago. Is this a good sign? Maybe I'm starting to see what I'm escaping from?
