@secretwhitepop I know the temptation of picking something up in the hopes it will make things easier. But I've found if I wait a day, an hour, a minute, that small amount of time puts me that much closer to my goal of living a life that is truly me. Hang in there. It gets better.

@sandij- I agree with @sandij @secretwhitepop - After my first lung cancer operation I had to go home with craving nicotine as I only quit smoking a week before my surgery. My husband gave me a mantra because I was struggling with it so much. "if I smoke I'll die"
I must have said this thousands of times but it worked. What might be a goof mantra for you?
"If i go back on these pills I'll be addicted for life?"
