Thanks for sharing this with us, Indigo. Cravings like the one you speak of – which I call more psychological than physical – are, I believe, a part of life for all of us. I’ve been stable on sub for coming up on three years. I’m on 16+ mg per day and even with no relapses, I still get those cravings/thoughts for that "warm blanket" feeling – I’d be lying if I said I didn’t. (When it happens I just put that thought immediately out of my head and move on.)
I think it’s great that you posted this because it’s good for us to talk about it. The more we acknowledge those cravings and maybe even ascertain their origin, the less powerful they are, I believe. I also believe the farther we get from our active addiction, (hopefully) the less these kinds of cravings will be a problem…..but that’s just my theory.
Keep up the good work, Indigo!
