It's been like a year and a half since the first time. I'm so over it. Everytime we get some I say "when this is gone WERE DONE" but someone always calls asking if we want or they come to visit and share so the cycle continues. :/

It sure is hard to resist when it is right in front of you.

So logically it seems to me you have two choices.

Get better at resisting. Maybe try practicing with something easier, like a chocolate bar. The technique called urge surfing might help.

Work on keeping the temptation away. How about telling friends you will immediately hang up if they mention it? Or insisting friends empty their pockets on the doorstep when they come round? How good are you at saying no? Again, practice in other contexts.

Most of all, just keep trying. Each time you try and fail is a step in the right direction. The rest of your life is worth fighting for.

When you decide you want to get clean, you have to cut out people and places that are tied with your using. Don't give up hope it's hard but you got this!
