The urge subsided. I cannot trust my brain, it just kept telling me how a drink wouldn’t be a big deal. I hate my inner voice.

It tells me the same. Lies such as everybody drinks. Just one drink and then no more. I’ve gone down that path before and when I listened to the voice, I started drinking again more than before. Shut the voice down. Go take a shower or go for a walk when it starts.

I tell myself “maybe I’ll drink tomorrow” and that seems to take the edge off. If I’m really hurting I’ll go to an AA meeting.

Try to remind yourself why you’re abstaining from whatever it is you’re abstaining from.

Remember all the bullshit that comes with drinking and drugs. There’s a reason you quit.

Boredom sucks. I know that feeling of wanting to drink. I picked up new hobbies left and right. Also started working out a ton. Just stay active and before you know it the day will be done.
