Don’t give up what you want the most for what you want right now

Struggling with the compulsion to drink. It hits me like a ton of bricks out of the blue.

Being able to know what triggers you is a good start! It could be stress, pain, sickness, isolation, procrastination, depression, anxiety, traveling, change, tiredness, anger.
I know it’s a lot but when you find the thing that pushes your buttons then find a way to move past it one day at a time! You are never in this alone!

Baby steps. Just focus on now and don’t overwhelm yourself. Pick up hobbies or play a game. Anything that would interest you and change your thoughts. I had to do this several times a day. Get to a meeting if possible.
