Why is it that I cant seem to get over the urges to use again? Is there something wrong with me?

No, there is nothing wrong with you. Recovering from addiction is a lifelong process and urges to use are 100% regular. I know it can be frustrating to feel those urges when you feel like you're making progress but those urges do NOT mean you're not doing well. Be strong

Changing behaviour requires a lot time, work and stages of relapse. It is very normal to go through stages of relapse before anything sustained and managable in behaviour change is achieved. Little by little, over a long period can make lasting changes no matter how deeply routed the problem behaviour is. It will get better, it does get better, in the end after all the above happens.

it's normal. breaking a bad routine is hard at first, and it can't always be done in instant. learn to distance ourselves first, slowly but sure. distract ourselves with other positive things, spend time with family and friends, hobbies, work, or anything that keeps us happy. it is indeed making us lonely and feel lost because we have been doing the old habit for so long, and it is hard to start something new in our life. but keep in mind that by leaving the bad habits behind, it will make our self better. i wish you all good luck.
