To my fellow female addicts, do you find it harder to stay sober during your monthly cycle? I haven't been able to make it to the 30 day mark until recently because of this. I have severe depressive symptoms with pms and it always triggers me to use more than any other time of the month. I only got through this month by locking myself in my room and crying for a few days. Lol. Does anyone have any insight to share, anything at all that helps you during this time? Seriously anything at all would help. I don't think I can get through next month the same way. Please help

I’m not sure I have an issue with using persay but I can tell you I become a FOOD ADDICT a day or 2 before & I hate it but CAN NOT control the urges for the life of me! Men are so darn lucky! Lol Your post prompted me to look up why I become so ravenous 
a couple days before and shocker (not), bc our hormones are going crazy! There were suggestions like loading up on iron days before to try to help the PMS symptom. All:drop_of_blood:jokes aside though, I hope you find your solution to your urges, and god help me to not eat the whole house the couple days before!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. For some reason I didn't even think about taking supplements. I'm going to look more into that. I hope that you can find something that helps with those food urges. I am the same way with that mess. I swear the urge to binge can be just as strong as the urge to use. The best of luck to you!
