Tracey, day 1-30 can be pretty ruff for sure. I know it was for me. But it got easier and easier as I hyper focused on my sober program. I needed to fill my time and crazy assss addict mind with sobriety. I went to early morning meetings and night meetings daily. Sometimes in the middle of the day too. I told on myself constantly because my urges to use were extreme.
I’m here if you want to talk

We are all here to support each other. Maybe take a walk outside, breathe some fresh air, get your body out of the same environment . Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to sit through it, but it will pass. I was just in a meeting earlier this week and one of the counselors said that it’s about 17 minutes, scientifically proven, that an urge or craving takes to pass. I don’t know how reliable that is because I know for sure it’s taken me longer than that in the past. I’m here to chat as well.
