Lately, within the last month or so, I keep getting these recurring cravings for a previous addiction. I was only addicted to Xanax for a few months and experienced a withdrawal. This was like three to four years ago. And now, I’m experiencing cravings for it. I can’t explain it but it’s like I need it. Now, my dad keeps the Xanax for when I really need it and keeps it in his gun safe. So I know where it is, I just can’t access it, thank goodness.

Most addictions are simply a desire to escape the self.
If in life you are feeling the desire to escape, then the craving of your drug of preference will increase.
Notice where in life this desire to escape is, rather than concentrating on the specific drug that you feel you wish to take; which is just the mind just side stepping base reality by easily getting high or whatever.
It is not the drug per se that is the problem. It is the self wishing it wasn’t present.

Thanks for responding, @labratmat. I definitely feel your philosophy for what the addiction actually is, is accurate. I’m ending my service mission soon, so maybe a change will countermand this craving.
