Wow, I thought I was doing so well. Last night I had such bad cravings it was all I could do to keep from calling my connection. I talked with my husband about him quitting his alcohol use. My addict was thinking he would say "no" and then I'd have a good excuse to go back to pot. (He wants to quit pot due to depression but doesn't think he has a problem with alcohol. I don't drink alcohol due to migraines and my mom being an alcoholic). We got in a fight and I acted out in my angry behavior slamming the bedroom door and throwing a book across the room. We slept in separate rooms. This AM he said that he would agree to give up alcohol. I didn't even realize that I (my addict self) had set this whole thing up just to have an excuse to go back to using.
I've been ancy and irritable all day. I want, I want... It's so hard to get through this. Any good ideas for distractions?
Hi Rachael, I know exactly what you are going through (read my new post entitled 'when will the cravings pass'!)
I am not really sure what to say to support you because I am still struggling myself but one thing I do know is that during my first couple of weeks I had terrible anger and rage. I am normally quite a placid, laid back person but I was furious and constantly blowing my stack! This disappeared after about 3 weeks so hopefully the same will happen for you! I am still struggling with the cravings though, hence my post!! ;-(
Best wishes to you, good luck, keep up your good work, you are not alone!
