    Thank you for the video , I’m doing this recovery in my own. Your crave riding advice I’m going to use and the insight on regret acknowledging is helpful. You saved a person here and thanks for that 🙏

    Sometimes I find it hard to understand the craving only lasting 20 to 30 minutes bit? When I start craving first thing in the morning then the craving dosent go away no matter what I do or think of, once its there its there and it won't go away until I use my doc (oxy). Sometimes my craving will last for easy 3 to 4 days.. People don't understand that cravings can get that strong they can make you really ill and then people don't understand how ill you really are. It's like living in a nightmare.

    This is the first place I’ve found that explains cravings… very small but the craving being 10-15 minutes is actually a real thing and revolutionary to me

    I knew it was bothering somehow. At first I was like, nice guitar playing I could probably use some guitar playing like that in a video but then I was like I can't hear both the voice and the music that is too scaly-noty-swingy to be heard just as a background.

Tip for future videos, separate music part with scales and blues from voice-over and explanations, use something smooth and backgroundish for that.
