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.
