You can’t kick habits fast.
People want fast as they think fast equals easy.
Kicking habits is not easy… but it is possible for everyone, and is infinitely rewarding so worth all the hard work.
Commit to kicking the habit, work a program of recovery, and prepare for it to take as long as it takes.
You can do it!

I was the same exact way except i have a young child. It’s so hard. But it is doable, i think. Personally had to stop buying, and i HAD to focus on something else. Im doing workouts, focusing on self care, im even thinking of running. I got so addicted because i had so much free time and i thought it was truly helping my depression and anxiety when it made it worse. I know it won’t help if i tell you ro keep busy, but its what helped me more. I couldn’t go a day without having to pick up

Welcome.
There is an absolute wonderful community of support here and I believe online meetings are still available. I hope you’ll stick around. Recovery isn’t for wussies and is rarely accomplished alone. I’m glad to hear you feel ready for a change. Keep going one day at a time!

Well its been 8hrs so far .So i guess so far so good im at work and i ask my self y the craving for the substance does not come when im at work its only when i get home i feel the urge to do it trying to remain focus
First off all welcome to the forum. Secondly you don’t have to go 5 days, you only have to stay clean today, tomorrow will sort itself out.
Can’t blame her here.
Our addictions are especially tough on our loved ones because they are absolutely powerless to help us and get put in a really tough situation.
Here are some links you may find helpful.
Best wishes to you, you can do this

My cravings are though thr roof rite about now!!!
Relapse and feel like shit
Without a plan, structure, help and working on yourself and your recovery the success rate to stay sober is minimal.
Get help, treatment, join support groups (NA, AA, recovery dharma …), read quit lit, educate yourself, replace bad habits and structures with healthy ones, practise HALT, erase everything connected with your DOC from your personal life (phone numbers, people, places, …)
Sobriety is hard work and it is worth it!

Did you learn anything? Was this time bad enough to make you not want to use again? It’s when we feel like shit that we say I’m ready for a change I know I can get clean. But as soon as we start feeling better, we think we can try a little. Well, we did try a little and that turns into going way overboard. And the cycle begins once more.
Stay here with us. We can help you if you truly want the help.

Was meant to start a new job today I’ve had to put that off, kids late for school and house is a mess feel absolutely crap, other half manages to do it but not, loose and mess anything up, feeling awful
Cocaine and alcohol and cocodomol tablets absolutely hate the lot, I never thought I’d get to this state, when I look back at myself a few years ago
