I was sober for 11 months and had a lapse awhile ago ever since then I’ve been fighting intense cravings , I’ve worked the steps, i have a sponser bit she’s at an AA re treat , i haven’t been able to go to meetings because I’ve been sick . I’ve been dealing with incredible stress and anxiety and i woke up this morning with scary cravings. I don’t want to drink this morning but this is the closest I’ve ever felt . Even the thought of going to the liquor store is making my body feel better.. i know at te end it will be my decision but if anyone can please send any words that have helped them fight their ultimate cravings . Please share

When I used to have really bad cravings, I would use the old "playing the tape through". Getting high sounds amazing, but then what? Well, I need to do it again. Then what? I need more. Then what? I lose my job. Then what? I have to hit a lick to get money to get more. Then I get locked up again. Or the B-side of the tape: I OD again and die from my first hit after being clean for a minute. Game over, I lose.
