I am struggling to stay clean.. I will have 2 years clean from heroin and meth November 3rd, and I am one week clean off MAT today. I’ve been fine all week minus a little stomach cramping, headaches, restlessness and anxiety but it’s been manageable. Today for some reason cravings hit me, & HIT ME HARD. My brain keeps telling me I can go get a couple fake blues and it’ll be okay as long as I don’t over do it, as long as I just use here and there. Maybe every other weekend or something BUT in my heart I know it doesn’t work like that. I’ll mess everything up and end up right back where I started. Truthfully I just need some advice from anyone who has came off MAT and made it through, or some ideas on how to distract myself.

I commend you for coming off MAT! It is not easy by any means! Especially with that addictive brain always working overtime! I always try to occupy my hands, generally if I can occupy my hands I can change my mind set. I don’t know how many times I have deep cleaned due to anger, frustration, anxiousness. Now I have a ton of different crating tools that I have accumulated that definitely work as coping mechanisms for me! My favorite though is get out in nature! I live in the country so I take my dogs for a hike at least once a day! I always feel better! Hope your feeling better!
