@conscientiousRaspberries4265 Congratulations on being clean for two months, that's a significant achievement! It's completely normal to have those thoughts and urges, especially when facing difficult times. The fact that you're reaching out for help and support is a positive step.
One way to manage these urges is to identify your triggers and develop coping strategies to address them. It can be helpful to talk to a therapist who specializes in addiction. They can provide you with techniques and strategies to manage these cravings and provide the support you need during challenging moments.
You're not alone in this, and seeking professional guidance can make a substantial difference in your journey toward recovery. Remember, it's a process, and setbacks can happen, but what truly matters is your commitment to getting better. You've already shown incredible strength, and you can continue to overcome these obstacles. Take care of yourself 💚
I really appreciate you reaching out to help me. I’ve tried getting a therapist but they all had no room for me. So thats why im coming here its my 2nd best option.

Have you tried snapping an elastic band on ur wrist or freezing a glove like putting water In it then freezing it ! It helps me ! Also squeezing an ice cube. If you want some fun coping skills let me know !
