Drugs and alcohol was never a problem for me. I am a honest person (usually) so when they asked me if I drink or do drugs and i said yes, they sent me to a drug group therapy and alcohol therapy and listening to their stories I could tell I didn't need to be there as I had none of the issues or problems they had. I stopped going. Now when I'm asked I lie.

I do understand that a lot of people have serious issues with drugs and alcohol and become dependent on them to cope. For people like that I do believe group therapy would be helpful.

Cravings will never stop. I can still taste and smell crack cocaine and I have not done any in 10 years. I simply decided I no longer liked it and stopped on my own. Yet I still get cravings every now and then. Hopefully you will get to a point where you find your cravings humorous and not a threat for you. I wish you the best of luck.
