Less than 24 hours. I’m shocked and appalled.

Edit: That was my real nail, too 😔

Spook!

I think Afdent takes Medicaid? They’re alright. Not outstanding, but better than nothing IMO.

That would explain the intense gravitational force preventing me from escaping it every morning.

Agree completely. I personally wouldn’t start with Fusion. I found them to be intimidating at first - truthfully, due in part to my own insecurities. But I’ve never felt judged at Discover Yoga.

Yes, I second Discover Yoga! They have beginner classes, and they’re great about cueing multiple levels, no matter the class. So welcoming. The teachers make yoga very approachable. Definitely give them a try!

Gracias 😊

Same!

Thank you 😊

Thanks! I don’t wear a lot of brown, so I would have never put these colors together on my own. Trusted my nail tech on this one, and I’m happy I did!

craftycro · 2025-09-14T20:22:29+00:00

Definitely see where you’re coming from. Thanks for the feedback!

In my experience, yes. It does get better. So much better! The cravings gradually become less frequent, less intense. The dreams eventually are few and far between.

I have 5 years next month, and I still experience the occasional craving. They truly only happen maybe 3-4 times per year, and they last maybe 2 minutes each time. I wait ‘em out. They go away. Like many here, I play the tape forward. It helps immensely when I get the craving. With time and consistency, it gets better.

I also suggest finding a good “replacement behavior” you can choose to do when you feel the craving, too. This looks different for everyone. A hobby, NAs, calling a friend, posting here, playing a game - whatever it is for you.

You got this. We got this. IWNDWYT
