My take on fighting against cravings. Some helpful tips:

• List of Why’s
• Why to quit drinking
  • Make sure they’re short and to the point

• Why to drink

  • To erase this feeling
  • To feel better
  • LIES, ALL LIES

• Distractions

• Find anything to distract you
  • Get up and move (not to the liquor store)
  • Drive around the block
• Hobbies
  • Try a new one
  • Watch a video on it
• Try a sweet treat
  • My sweet tooth has grown back in

• Pray

  • Even if not to any specific diety
  • Make up a diety to pray to
    • Sobrii god of Sobriety
  • Christian
    • St Jude – Lost causes
    • St Maximillian Kolbe
      • Polish friar (friar is like a monk but sociable)

• Don’t let the evil part of your brain win

• Just pledge to not drink in the next second, minute, hour...

REMEMBER: I will not drink with you today.
