When there are times in my life that the addictions I have come onto me and I feel the urge to use again, I always try and remember what it was like and what I went through the last time I use. I know if I went back to using, I would be there again but farther along in my addictions. I know this helps me to get through the cravings I have because of the last time I used, I OD'ed and was brought back to life by a friend who did CPR on me. using things like this may help you to not go back to using. Looking at the possitive things you thought were so good when you had your last use is the addiction trying to creep back into your life and taking control of you again. The last drug I was using was herion and I do not know where I would have gone or what else I would have used in order to get that so called high I wanted. Death was close to me I know and see and remember that when these craving come. It works for me but you may have other ways of dealing with those strong cravings when they come on.
