Well, it looks as though this has paid off recently with the identification of the “addiction area” in the brain. Scientists have found that with an injection into the brain of the lab rat, they can temporarily eliminate the rat’s desire for the drugs. It works for rats, but what does this mean for humans?

If I'm home, sometimes I will pull out my journal and read some of my entries around the time that I entered into rehab. I can read what it is I went through. If all else fails, I just hold on and try to ride it out. I just tell myself no matter how much I want to use, I won't. I hear you about the low energy thing. My drug of choice gave me tons of patience with my child. Obviously, it really made me numb to anything that he did wrong. But it felt like I had more patience with him. I have been learning other ways of reaching that level of patience without the use of drugs. I guess that's what you need to do too. Find some other things that give you energy...other things that aren't mood altering substances that is.

How did you handle them? Would you take a walk or a bath, read, write or something else or would you just ride it out? How long do your cravings last? My can be so severe and it is usually when I start thinking of everything I have to do. My addictive actually gave me energy...I know that may not make sense but I actually enjoyed doing things when I took one of my pills...it almost acted like a stimulant and it made me very social. So now there are some days when my energy level is very low and that is when I really want to use. Thanks, Erin, for responding to my comment about cravings. How did you handle them?
