I too have had the same experience with my son. I didnāt handle it well. Sounds like you are taking a stable/calm approach. Keep moving forward. This too shall pass-I know itās hard, but you will nip this in the bud!

Checking in . Struggling a little bit right now. Thought it was going to be easier again after the first week but tonight Iām craving. Trying to stay distracted, a little overwhelmed with things I need to do and donāt want to do but I know as soon as theyāre done I can sit down and put my feet up so Iām just going to try to finish what I have left to do. Iāll set a timer for 20 minutes and see how much I can get done. I bet thatās as long as itāll take me. Thatās really not long! then I can sit down and relax and by then my craving should be gone too

Being fidgety does not go away for a while after quitting.
Maybe write down small tasks you need to do around the house and put them in a jar. When you get a craving, pull one and do it immediately. By the time you are done the craving should be gone. They typically last about 7 minutes. Be aware of and ride the wave while doing your task. You will get better at seeing the waves coming and controlling them with practice.

Day 22.5!
Feeling good. Took my doggos for a walk on a trail down by the river, glad I can do that without being too drunk to go! Cujo was absolutely thrilled haha, but Deck in the back is my kinda lazy guy.

Day 32.
I roasted broccoli. I played with cats. It was a day where nothing disastrous happened, except my shitty coworker. But like, the things got done.
Planned a road trip to see my cousin. We have used together before but i think she will be happy for me.
The word āusedā carries such a different tone tham āsmoked weedā or āhad wineā
Evening coffee. Maybe ill try to finish art i started. Tired, messy kitchen. Everything on my mind and id probably be safer if i could focus more on the present and immediate future. Show up early to work with coffee, reserve my anger for when it really matters.
