Replies Al Legator Posted at 1:05 pm on Nov. 24, 2008 I don't have first hand experience but I understand that it's very common for you to feel that way. You have accomplished much...by the very nature of not going back you are going forward.  It must be frustrating but you are going somewhere, a day at a time (like the rest of us, it's not just an AA or NA thing!). It sounds like you feel like you may as well relapse since you think you aren't going anywhere. This is a dangerous way to think and I suspect you realise the danger or you might not be so upset. One step, one day, at a time, just like everyone. squeekybee Posted at 12:49 pm on Nov. 24, 2008 I think its normal to keep thinking about it if your body is fighting an addiction. I know that I use to cut and I had a relapse back in to it a little while ago, and people told me relapses with past addictions are normal. If you have come this far, I don't think you should worry HeavenShallBurn Posted at 12:48 pm on Nov. 24, 2008 Well, dont pop oxy or do smack. When I wanted to quit I took up some other addictive activity.(Not like somking), like for me it was boxing, and I had to stay in shape for it, so I dident smoke.... Just try to replace it with something else... it worked for me. All 3 previous replies displayed.
