Guest: Have you tried journalling your feelings when you feel like picking up? Sometimes its easier to see on paper what causes our cravings and urges to pick up. Also, lots of addicts will tell you that they used to help avoid the "real world" and to avoid feelings. I myself was self-medicating and now that I'm clean I can look back and see that I wasn't in control of anything, but definitely very out of control. Just take it one day at a time, or even an hour at a time. Continue your journey.
