Sometimes I find it hard to understand the craving only lasting 20 to 30 minutes bit? When I start craving first thing in the morning then the craving dosent go away no matter what I do or think of, once its there its there and it won't go away until I use my doc (oxy). Sometimes my craving will last for easy 3 to 4 days.. People don't understand that cravings can get that strong they can make you really ill and then people don't understand how ill you really are. It's like living in a nightmare.

You need to have a reason why you don’t want to do it

Thank you for the video , I’m doing this recovery in my own.
Your crave riding advice I’m going to use and the insight on regret acknowledging is helpful.
You saved a person here and thanks for that 🙏

[@israelperez6277]

This is the first place I’ve found that explains cravings… very small but the craving being 10-15 minutes is actually a real thing and revolutionary to me

[@EmmettEgan-hu3xy]

I wonder if there is a way to listen to this without the music?

No

There is actually
So many sites remove music from songs . This can do it

[@allisona9490]

Good tips. I found the music a bit too distracting for this video. But, good material.

Maybe some Adderall will help you focus

thank you for this

I love how this is the first time I've heard a craving can just happen! People talk about triggers, I'm impulsive and use 😢

[@beyourself4450]

Same. And after 3 clean days the thought comes up and I'm yet to beat that overwhelming thought even tho my liver is very bad

[@suzannerachel6152]

@@beyourself4450 how are you getting on? It's so true, even though we know it's damaging us we still have the urge. And sometimes we give in!

[@stig649]
