Thank you for posting this. I don't have a long time sober, and I've always had a hard time controlling my emotions in general maybe because in the past I was always drunk and would flip out over the smallest things, and now it's because I am learning how to deal with situations in a way I never developed before-- as a sober adult. Recently I read about a technique similar to this. It is the same principle except it involved simply observing your emotions and leaving them there until they washed over you. Not acting on them or feeling any certain way about them, just observing them. I don't know why I didn't think of it at the time to apply this way to thinking to my cravings. Thanks for the helpful reads.
