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.

That snacks option sounds smart. I will have to include something like that

For me it was an alcohol problem so I’m sure there are differences but the sour candy did help me snap back into the present. It wouldnt hurt to try. Also just remember to post here before you pick up so we can talk you out of it.
