So, it happened. I was fine, then all of a sudden my mind was racing, and i felt the need to smoke some cannabis. I even called someone i know i could get it from. Luckily, they didnt answer, but i knew they would call back. So, i blocked the number and decided to jump on this app. I know i will be beyond disappointed if i mess up and fall back into the same trap. Evil is trying to tempt me today, but its not going to work. I am going to take care of myself by taking a shower, get dressed and look good today. I have my 2nd to last nursing class at 530p and so much to look forward to. I got this and so do all of you. Please share your day of beating addiction with me. It helps me feel not so alone in this journey. Have a great day, everyone. God bless.
So glad you came here when the urge hit you. Thanks for the reminder it can happen to us all at any time. Sharing is a major help in overcoming it. So congrats on that! One thing I am doing today is coming here, reading, thinking, feeling, learning, trying to give some support to others, feeling the support of our collective. The opposite of addiction is connection and I have found so much of that here over the last 5 years. With my peers. Now with you. We’re in this together friend. Never again, one day, one crave at a time. Big hugs. Much love.
Mno,
I agree. This app is so uplifting and positive. Its like always having a friend to talk to and i dont have to worry about them getting annoyed when i repeat myself. Thank you for your kindness and time. It truly helped me to read those words “big hugs” “we’re in this together”. Keep being you
Obviously what Menno said. Other than that: either distraction or mindfulness. That urge will pass. If you can ride it like a wave, mindful of its ups and downs, you’ll ride it out and know you can do that again. It will give you power
