Hazard - You're not wasting space at ALL hun!
That's what RYL and this forum is here for ... we're all here to help you, and I'm glad that you were able to speak out about these cravings you are having.
Can I ask ... is anything happening in your life right now that is adding to your stress, and may be making the cravings worse for you? Are you being triggered by anything in particular?
Personally speaking, in the past the times when I've gotten the worst cravings for alcohol, have been those times in my life when I've been triggered by either too much stress, or too little stress and boredom.
Both stress and boredom are huge triggers for me, and make me want to immediately reach for the nearest bottle of alcohol.
Is anything triggering you right now?
Cravings to use/drink dont usually come right out of the blue ..... usually when we get cravings after being clean and sober for a while, its because we've been triggered by something that is happening in our lives, or the people and situations that are around us.
When you can identify the trigger, then you'll be well on your way to sorting out why you are getting these cravings, and you'll be able to face what's triggering you head on, and deal with these cravings constructively.
Please just dont give in to these cravings Hazard ... you CAN deal with this without resorting to using pills again! You are a much stronger person than you were in the past - you've survived withdrawals and giving up these pills in the first place ... and you can survive these cravings again without needing to give in to them.
Keep talking about it here if it helps hun .... you're in good company, and are with people who've been through similar sorts of experiences.
Take care xxx
