Screaming out for help

Today and the past few days have been really hard on me. I am at almost 5 months sober, I have hit a low in my depression and I have a physical craving for meth. The mouth watering, fire in my veins that screams out to just give in and not have to "feel" for a while. I need some moral support. Someone to tell me not to give up, because right now, I am teetering on the edge.

" I know excatly how you feel! i almost give in everytime it's so hard not to. the voices in your head you can't escape i think we have both tried and it's unsuccessful! when you get high on meth they go away for a bit but they always come back ten times harder! You can't let them and the drug win! Keep strong sweetheart! try to get your mind off of it! go for a walk go see a movie! maybe go for a drive just get out of the house and embrace the little things in life it's so cliche but actually when i have bad cravings i go outside and smell the flowers or dip my feet into some water or just lay in the grass to me it helps! It might not help you but it's worth a try! Keep your family close ask them for help! and friends! dont give up sweety 5 months is a hell of a long time for us! you can do this just stay strong! "

" We all walk our roads. We all go through our experiences. I have so many times quit meth, gone back, you know the cycle. I have started over only God know how many times from the ditch up. And this is the biggest (well one of them) lessons I have learned. This addiction is very evil and it will pop up on you when you least expect it. I know from experioence and I am speaking for myself. But are you ready? So the biggest thing I have learned is that IF you do RELAPSE DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP!! I know how hard it is the next morning watching the sun come up and shaking my head, saying what the *uck! God, then the evil depression comes and that is the hardest moment for me. It took alot of *uck ups for me to finally be able to talk myself out of that horrid funk the morning(s) after. It is so important you say to yourself, this is OK. It was a slip, I fell down, I WILL get back up and simply dust myself off and move on. I will not beat myself up. I am good I can do this. Relapses suck. It is up to you if you will let the relapse become a boulder to your recovery or use the relapse as a stepping stone to your success. :)

Hunny when you feel like relapsing is when you need to try different actions, do different things. I aint no saint and I sure as heck know that the craving will suddenly strike at the craziest time when you least expect it. Even after 2 yrs. Before this I had a 3 yr period of sobriety. We must always ALWAYS be on gaurd, we will be an addict for life. I need to learn how to live with that.

Stay strong sweet one. Reach out go to NA or AA get a sponser surround yourself by other people trying to conquer addiction. Reach out to others. Stay strong. "
