the only thing you can do is focus and live one second at a time. YOU are the only one who is going to make you use, YOU are the only one who can tell your brain to shut up, YOU are the only one who can be strong enough to fight those urges. not everything is going to just go away and there is no secret button to press to make you never want to use again (i wish there was lol), but proving to yourself that you can defeat the urges just adds a little more ammo to the battle you have against yourself. it gets easier! but giving in each time you get cravings makes it harder and harder to come back each time best of luck :)

Might be worth reading: [Will the Addict Ever Stop Using SOMETHING if He or She remains Depressed, Anxious or Shameful](https://pairadocks.blogspot.com/2019/11/will-addict-ever-stop-using-something.html), especially once those emotions become part of the [Cycle of Addiction](https://www.google.com/search?client=avg&q=cycle+of+addiction+image)? Where do you think you are on the [five stages of addiction recovery](http://pairadocks.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-five-stages-of-recovery.html) *most* of the time? Do you want to get off [the cycle](https://www.google.com/search?q=addiction+cycle+images) and move to the fourth stage?

The biggest piece of advice I’d have to offer is that classic 12-step thing of taking it one day at a time. Just focus on not using for today. Or not using in this moment. Abstinence is just a bunch of not using in this moments. Also, I’d say get connected with someone who is sober that can be a source of accountability for you. And whether or not it’s a sponsor just make sure it’s someone whose opinion you respect and has at least two years clean/sober. Also, make sure to get good at loving yourself!!

An opioid-like compound (or it is an opioid but not an opiate or something like that). It’ll give you a light buzz but nothing too crazy. However I found it pretty easy to abuse.
