So, I've been thinking about what could help me, and everyone who reads this. And what I have come up with is this. Instead of reaching for the SI object, I reach for my yoga mat, and do some good old streching. And then I help my urges by doing some ab workout. So far it seems to help. I've been clean now for a week. Which has been great.

My suggestion is find something that helps you to find something different for you to reach for when the urges come. Here's a few things that could help

Reach for a good book
Reach for a friend
Reach for good music or an instrument
Reach for your bike and go for a ride
Reach for the door handle to go outside for a walk
Reach for something besides your SI tool.

Just promise yourself that you will reach for something else.

Just a thought, and I hope it helps you, Like it helped me.

Sending you all safe hugs !!
Thanks for this!
