It’s so difficult to fight the urge when you have nothing else to do. :persevere:

It’s tough, but you’re strong. Once you get past the urge, you’ll look back and be proud of yourself and how strong you are.

What do you like to do? I found that quiet walks help me out a bit with urges and processing thoughts/emotions.

I agree with. It’s very hard when you’re stuck at home and also alone.
I’ve tried to keep myself moving, going to the gym etc. Or when I get an urge I force myself to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour and let that feeling pass.

I like to read do puzzles brain games , I’m in New York so it’s pretty cold. I try not to go out if I don’t have to the liquor store it literally right across the street.

I hear you 100%. I’m in New York, too, and there’s a liquor around the corner from me. Perhaps another hobby? Using the body may occupy the mind enough to overcome those urges. I certainly get them too. We got this though!
