My advice is the same as Dion, hit a few meetings. What is your DOC? I'm clean from Meth 3.5 yrs and Fent 60 days but have been able to stay off the fent for a total of 3yrs aside from 2 slip ups, one being recent. I went to rehab again after this last time I OD 'd.

Jenn don't do it... It's a trap. Don't cave in to your craving.
Why are you struggling with this?
Jenn, you’re not alone and we are here to help you. There is a process that’s simple and much easier than using or struggling to stay clean on your own.
I’m here if you want to talk
I’ve found reaching out helps SO much when the cravings are heavy. Even if we just end up talking about music, or something not related to recovery, it allows my brain to shift from the obsession to lightening the load

P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happens
Go to meeting
Choose wisely
You got this remember your why!
Move. Pray. Sometimes it’s white-knuckle one second at a time.

What helps me.. try and get busy. Most times it will only last five minutes or so. Make yourself busy. Even walk the dog. ANYTHING. I have trouble making phone calls asking for help. So I get busy with whatever I can. Then I think about everything I have to lose. Who I would let down. You’re sober for a reason. I’ve worked hard for some people to be back in my life and if I went back it would destroy them. I’m sorry you feel this way.
YOU got this. Even if you don’t think you do. I’ve got 16 months clean off fentanyl. I know it’s hard. Just breathe
Go to meetings. Talk it out 
You got this.
Remember always where we came from how we got there, and where we are now.
Doesn't matter how bad our day gets. But it's always better today than it was yesterday.
One day, one minute or one second at a time. That's how we roll.
Hang in there sweetie. I'm going through it as well. I'm sober but very depressed and have crazy anxiety. Trying to shake it off but sometimes easier said than done.
You are not alone take it min by min if you have to. Every minute will add up Distract yourself go for a walk call a friend watch tv listen to music dra meditate
