Yesterday I had my first relapse since I joined the app. I was feeling very confident because I hadn’t given in for a few weeks, but as expected the next urge that came along was a strong one that felt impossible to resist. My entire body was screaming at me to give in as my hands shook, my breathing became erratic, and my heart rate quickened. Anyone have any tips for when those especially strong urges come along?
Urge surf. Accept the craving and hover above it. Don’t panic or try to block it out, just be at peace with it. Accept the pain in your chest, it goes away. Also rubbing ice on your stomach and face can really help.
