I’m only about 6weeks off sub so I don’t have the long term experience as some of the folks on this site, but…

I remember my cravings before getting on sub to be much stronger. I actually still had pretty strong cravings the first year or so while on subs. In part because of the environment I was working in and the people I was around. I’d try to get high while I was on subs and eventually figured out it just wasn’t the same and financially a complete waste of money!! Over time I was able to get away from most of the bad influences which helped a lot…

After stopping subs the cravings have returned, but not as strong as they were when I was using. A lot of that is probably because I’ve changed my life around…I think I’d be having some real trouble staying clean if I was still working in a restaurant, going to school and around people who thought it was cool/fun to get high. The changes I made while on subs are helping the recovery…
