So I came very close to 1 year clean. After having my daughter I was prescribed narcotics… I have gone on a downward spiral since then… 7 months later of full relapsing and losing everything and everyone I love,i am trying my hardest to stay sober. I am 40 days clean today and I start my new job tomorrow. The anxiety I am having is making me want to use. I know I should go to a meeting, I know I should reach out but those are the last things I want to do. I guess I am looking for support by posting this. I know I am not going to go out and use but these cravings of wanting to self medicate so I don’t have this anxious/nervous feeling, is really getting to me. Ugh someone, anyone please tell me how to cope?

The things we don’t want to do are usually the things we need to do.

Posting this is a great start, it shows you are serious about it. 40 days is a terrific accomplishment. Stay strong and we are ALL here for you!!!
