Its a brilliant idea to have a notebook and a list of reasons why drinking isnt a good option listed. My dad has had the same list for 15 years! I have more of a mental list, and now although I dont get cravings as such - I get depressed about being an addict. Keeping busy and healthy are natural confidence boosters though - and are paramount for me to reduce those days where I resent being sober.

In the earlier days, I often used to write "this too shall pass" on my hand...it helped to remember that line when I was having cravings
