Day 3 is one of my most relapsing days. Day 3, 5, 7, 10. Haven’t made it past day 10 in over 5 years
Stay and stick with us. It is so hard but so worth the effort . Read around here there is so much great info.
Congrats on making it this far. Do you have a plan to manage the cravings? If you stick around we can help you when the urge to pick up sets in, but putting some distance between yourself and your DOC will help. For me, exercise, yoga, and finding ways to stay busy, as well as having spicy and sour snacks on hand helped kick me out of the cravings in the first few days. I also ultimately went to treatment which was invaluable to getting my first 30 days.
