Hungry
Angry
Lonely
Tired
Four things that can cause cravings, especially when combined. Whenever we are craving, it’s good to analyse why. Often one or more of these is involved. Knowing that, we can act to take action to counter them while not acting on our craves of course!
Oh ok thank you. I’ll keep my eyes out for those in myself.
Congrats on the graduation!
Hoping that you’ll get good news from the oncologist. 
Yeah they really are… just before I decided to get into recovery for the last time please god I was seeing angel numbers everywhere… I don’t think it was coincidence I feel like the angels wer guiding me to make the right desicion… I tried at the start of the year and after a short while I convinced myself that I was ok and that I could drink occasionally… what a big lie that turned out to be… fingers crossed now this time I understand that me + alcohol does not work… I am determined and I know what is good for me this time… good job on your 104 days that’s amazing… and good luck in your new home…
I know this feeling all to well. I’m so sorry you’re there. Glad you made appointments to get help and recognize it for what it is. Hoping the dark cloud passes sooner than later for you.
Day 379
This week has been a mental battle for me. Cravings. Thoughts. Anxiety. All coming at me every day. I’ve been pouring out myself to others and have not taken time to get myself filled back up. I don’t even know what that would look like to be honest. If I had a whole day to do whatever I wanted I don’t even know what I’d do. But I feel like I need a break. So maybe I’ll figure out how to do that this weekend. Thankful to be sober and for this forum. Stay strong people.
Thank you @anon28001181!
Thank you @Serenity33!
You caught one!! 
I’m waiting another hour and a half to post my counter so I can catch one too. 
Is “ticker thingie” the technical term?
I’m really glad to see you continue to progress. 
104 days sober. I keep resetting on smoking cigarettes. Right now I have bronchitis because of my picking up smoking (AGAIN) when I became sober. A rational observation would be to stop it, I’m hurting myself. But. I’m not there, I feel desperate each time I swear off cigarettes. I don’t even smoke that much, 8 to 10 a day, about one an hour. I’ve got 5 different flavored gums, cinnamon candy, and drink lots of water. The reason I’m spending so much time on this topic is that I’m working through a craving moment. It has passed and I didn’t smoke. Now I go back to my sewing. Thanks
Well done on 2 weeks and well done on a really cool name 
never was a fan until I watched a tour he did on amazon or Netflix where he talks about his life and songs and plays them all on accustuc, if your a fan you’ve probably seen it but I found it very moving. BTW I love how real and crazy dreams are now, I look forward to sleep bc I never know what’s going to happen next.
