Hey you have made it this far, take a break from the thought just for 5 sec. Wash your face and tell yourself you are not these thought, complement yourself because your doing g great, you told on your illness,your doing your part, take a deep breath and refocus, take a walk. Love you big. Proud of you!

Track the urges. Over time you will see they become less intense, shorter durations and further apart.

Stacey, I’ve been where you are many times! I realized I couldn’t win the battle on my own. There is a solution that really works if you really work it.
I finally got super serious about MY Sobriety and went to in person AA meetings everyday for over a year, got sponsors, did the steps multiple times and did what was suggested even if it didn’t make sense at the time. I did lots of service work too. 15 years of solid sobriety, peace of mind, gratitude and a life worth living is the payoff.
Just paying it forward💝
I’m here if you want to talk.
