today is better

im finding ways to stay busy, although its still rough, well its withdrawal but very mild compared to before, just runny nose, sneezing and just being like sluggish.. the thing is, can i stay clean, i believe i can but it is the hardest thing ive ever had to endure and my life wasn't easy growing up, I dont have tomuch cravings, just boredom that always makes me want to use, so my advice to anybody in this situation is to stay buzy, it took me a few relapses before i looked hard into why i was going back to pills, the mental part plays a role, but for me, its boredom..so if your thinking of using, in my experience just find something to occupy the times cravings come, which last about 15 minutes, again everybody's different but i just want to try to help somebody in this situation, Im there now, but there are many success story's so it can be completed. Hope everybody has a great day!

I get that!  I work a seasonal job, and it is cold and snowy here.  I am trying to not stay idle.  I have taken up knitting again, just to keep my hands busy and to get in just one more hour today.
