Just a thought to put in your arsenal of defensive techniques Shattered. When you have a craving or feel like you want to use try to remember that its a feeling and the feeling will pass. I`m sure you`ve experienced a feeling of wanting to kill someone/yourself or any number of harmful , anti-social feelings. They pass , you dont act on them and in the case of destructive ones - its a good thing we let them pass and dont act. We often feel very differently the next day , or even a few hours later.

Dont make life-altering,self-destructive decisions based on "feelings" which are temporary.This applies to the natural "feelings" an addict may have of wanting to take drugs. Observe and accept it for what it is and let it go.
