Valleygirl,
Congrats on being able to stop the subs! I know how hard it is. I remember when I found out I was pregnant (over 3 years ago), I was taking Norcos daily. I was happy to be pregnant, but freaking out about having to quit. I stayed clean during the entire pregnancy, but always craved them. Of course after I had my baby, I was back and then even worse. I went on subs for over a year, and am off now I think it is like 110 days or so. PAWS is something I think about a lot because I have my moments and cravings. But when your pregnant, everything feels 100 x worse. So look at it this way, you are killing 2 birds with one stone.
Just try and take everything one day, one hour, or even minute at a time, even when you feel you can’t. Everyone says different things about PAWS, so I never feel like I get any great answers, but from all the research I have done, the 2 year mark is supposed to be super. It seems like forever, but I am sure one day we can look back and say, that wasn’t so bad.
I wish you the best, I always hated being pregnant, love my kids to death, but pregnancy sucks! So remember it will go fast and then you can really gauge how u feel. Sorry for rambling.
Stay strong!
Sher
