84 days without a drink
Still get those urges and those thoughts of "one beer isn't gonna kill you "
How does everyone deal with those urges ? I've been trying to remind myself of the bad things that have happened when I was drinking .

When/If the urge may arise, is a perfect time to talk to your sponsor, or go to a meeting, even a breif change in environment may help alleviate the urge such as a brief walk or short workout. Bad things definitely happen when drinking!! :100::face_vomiting::policeman:‍♂:oncoming_police_car:

84 days here as well Austin.
When urges come, I distract myself for a little while and the urge passes. Keep reminding yourself of the bad things that happened but don’t forget to acknowledge the new and good things that have happened since you became sober.
Every time I attempted to have just 1, I ended back at square 1. Not worth the hell.
