Hello
It’s hard to answer your question because I honestly have not been getting bad urges to go, I just think about it sometimes. There was a time I would get so agitated if I couldn’t go daily, but I haven’t been getting that since week one of stopping. That first week I prayed A LOT, and sincerely repeated the Serenity Prayer. I did whatever it took to keep from caving in. I would turn my focus to something else.
I think the other thing is this isn’t my first attempt to stop, this time I didn’t allow myself to get as far in the hole financially. Being wayyy in the hole is what brings on that depression and suicidal thoughts.
