The thing is drug addictions are as much mental as physical and both your body and mind need to adapt to new stimuli. <BR/><BR/>For me, it also got harder before it got easier, and I'm sorry to say it took more like 3 months before I started feeling much relief. <BR/><BR/>The craves will come, but trust this... they only last 5 minutes (unless you smoke) and then they're gone. Over time, they will decrease in frequency, intensity and duration. <BR/><BR/>You can suffer through ANYTHING for 5 minutes... just distract your body and focus your mind on your next CrossFit adventure... it will give you the mental stamina to endure. <BR/><BR/>Last thing... try not to sabotage yourself with deadlines, it will be done when it's done, just like your next WOD.<BR/><BR/>Stay strong girlfriend; I know you can do this.Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378455023842264934noreply@blogger.com
