Pray to your higher power and turn it over. Also keep asking for help and reaching out. This disease can’t be beat doing it alone.

I wish someone told me this when I first quit, but there’s a solution to every problem in the Bible. Any time I feel anxious I call on the name of Jesus to take it all away and almost immediately I feel at peace. If anything… practice gratitude daily, but aim it at God because without him none of us would get to live this amazing life. It’s impossible to have doubt and faith at the same time, realize that doubt is from the enemy, and does not exist. Choose to have faith everyday and you will grow stronger mentally & spiritually.

Hello Ashlynn what works for me is moving muscle change I thought. I think of my head as a cookie jar one bad thoughts start coming in. I literally shake my head which is moving the muscle and I change a thought. I dump out the old thoughts, and I start putting in happy thoughts by moving a muscle, and changing a thought, it breaks the mental obsession which is constantly thinking about picking up a drink or a drug…
Hopefully this helps. I do it every day.

Call your sponsor and get to a meeting. Remember it’s just for today 
Realize that this craving will pass. Tell yourself, I’ll wait 20 minutes. Then, for me anyway, 20 minutes hits and by then you’ve moved past that feeling. Good luck. Hang in there.

Try a meeting in person or online and remember your worse day in sobriety will always be better than your best day drinking 
you got this !!! Just for today one day at a time. Try some self care , I always did that in my early days of sobriety, reach out to a sober friend
