Hi Jess,
Let's think about the cigarette on the dresser a minute.
What makes that cigarette different from a needle full of methamphetamine?
Can it 'really' comfort you?
Could that comfort 'you imagine' be the feeling of 'a fix' that accompanies the end of withdrawal?
You don't need to answer, just wanted to give you a different way to think about it.
Congrats on 5 days and stay strong!
