Advice please- all the red flags are waving!

I just reread my post, and hope when I said "They are what they are" doesn't sound like I am dismissing how hard the cravings can be to get through. They can be bad, and sometimes make a half hour of urges feel like an eternity. I just mean I know they are just feelings. I accept the feelings, and know that is all they are...feelings...they will pass, and I CAN over come them.
I just didn't want to come across like I was minimising what you are/were feeling Kimberley! I am sorry if it came across that way:l

Kimber, tho it's always there, in the closet, it DOES get easier. It becomes a source of pride to say "No thank you" with no further explanation necessary. If someone insists on knowing why, I ask why they need to know. It becomes like the old rusted bucket in the basement you don't open, even tho you know it's there. Still waiting, but unopened, unheard, not thought about for years. Best of all, it can become a small, shadowy part of our past life, and the great irony is it can't do anything to ruin our life unless we take the time to invite it back in. I rejoice at every success story I read here.
