Huge congrats on making it through to day 4 Kels! You felt and feel the same every addict does. It’s the quintessence of being one. We want our drugs! You made it to day four though. So you can make it to day 5 too. 100% true. That’s one. Two is that you made it here and you are asking for help. You recognize you can’t do it alone. You recognize it and you ask for help. That’s huge. We can all use alone, we can all die alone. But recovering, beating addiction, we have to do together. One day at a time. Together. I’m very glad you’re here because together we have a change, you and me and all of us.
Three is you need a plan. Sounds to me you need more help then just us here at TalkingSober. What’s your plan? Want to go to rehab? Impatient or outpatient? Been thinking about going to peer to peer support groups like NA or CA? Or non 12 step support groups like SMART or Buddhist Recovery? Thinking about getting out of the physical surroundings you’re in, breaking with your addicted buddies? Changed your phone number so the dealers can’t reach you? Got rid of your dealers phone number?
I’m proud of you you made it to day four Kels. You spend a lot of energy maintaining your habit. now it’s time to spend your energy on staying clean and building a new life. Spend your time and energy on Recovery. You can do this but it takes a lot of work. I’m sure you can do it. I wish you all success. We’re right here with you.

For me to quit and stay quit, I had to eliminate all contact with users and dealers.
None of those people were true friends. It was hard for me to realize that. Until I did that, I failed at quitting.
Glad your here! Stay connected.
