Welcome, Lynne! I hope you get mad at those urges. You are stronger than them, really; and you don’t want your actions to be controlled by it anymore!

Okay, that’s great. I highly recommend just finding a distraction from the cravings the first couple days. Go for a walk, make some puzzles, think of a hobby, just anything to shut down the cravings. And I highly recommend being active on this forum, lots of great information and lots of great folks with lots of experience

Welcome!

Expecting it not to be easy is a great realization. Expect cravings, expect hard days. You can plan for it!

I have a headache and feel kinda shakey but I’m feeling strong and determined.

Thanks for that advice I’m definitely trying to plan :ok_hand:
