Wow, reading a previous post made my cravings even worse than they were! But it does help A LOT to read through and realize that these EXACT thoughts are NOT only in my head! Mostly all they have are alcohol message boards so when I found this, I was really thankful. It took me forever to find a message board where I can actually talk about my cravings and my wants to just go cop and be done with it. To not have to worry, at least for a couple hours, about my life, or any of the other sh*t thats going on. To feel that euphoric high and the momentary happiness I used to get. I'm new, so I'm gonna be honest, I was a little shy at first to post. But reading your guys posts are making me finally feel like I'm not in this battle by myself. Thank God I found this site. I'm really not the NA type. I've been putting off going because I really dont think I'd feel comfortable there. But I guess I wont find out until I try. It cant hurt any. Right?
I was really stuck on the post "BAD CRAVINGS - ...a real yearning and want for its feeling and smell....the shot of blood you see when you have hit a vein spot on .....the pushing of the plunger into yourself..."
I agree 100%. Enough said about that. I feel that talking about it helps me not want to actually go out and do it. Seems odd, but that's how I feel. I've been sober for a while and it's a daily struggle to keep it that way. I just pray that I really can do this on my own without an in-patient rehab.
This is my first time abstaining and I want to stay sober. Anyone have ANY advise to help me along the way, feel free to speak your minds! PLEASE!! Thanks for listening!

Welcome--glad you found us--i have been clean for 4 years--Wow--the time flies--to tell you the truth i dont go to meetings either--i did on and off but i am without a car and busy being a single mother(not an excuse) but at the times i really struggled everyday--they were a god-send, and i beat myself up that i am not still going....if you can --go--especially if you are craving so much.
