Craving

Very rarely do I get cravings these days but having a hard time today. It's been a rough day :disappointed:

Yeah that happens to me too. I just fast forward to memories of vicious hangovers. The cravings quickly evaporate.

I'm sorry you're having a rough day. Anything fun you did today at all?

Distraction is my most used coping mechanism. I try and drown my thoughts with the memories of being sick. How terrible I felt not being able to get outta bed. Missing priceless time with loved ones and then switch to happy sober memories. It’s a meditation practice that usually distracts me long enough for them to pass.

Do you read the Bible at all? I have been writing it down as I read it to retain the information since I have ADHD, and man my cravings disappear when I’m spending time with God.

Hang in there, get to a meeting, call your sponsor or other alcoholics, we get to deal with life on life’s terms now, hopefully that helps :blush::pray:
