"i'd rather be sober thinking about getting drunk, than being drunk thinking about getting sober"
love this quote, really puts things in perspective for me.
urges are not that big a deal (annoying, yes). they will get less strong as time goes on, until you'll be able to brush them off as a passing thought.
best thing to do is to find a new activity/hobby to fill your time, when you'd normally drink.
how about going to the gym after work?
