I have rarely had cravings in the last 19 years. I dunno why. Luck I guess.
When I have had them is when I am in the deepest of depressions and the anxiety is overwhelming. Alcohol becomes very appealing. I know it will make the depression worse but I also know it would kill the anxiety at least for awhile and it is that I want escape from. I came so close a year or so ago. I just refused to give up that sober time and talked to my pdoc about the anxiety.
Going through the pain and processing those hurts will get you to healing and to the other side. The drugs will just stuff em back down so they still plague you.
