I NEVER hear anyone say this, but it's helped me. Avoid carbs.
I know people say they crave carbs in early sobriety and it's the body trying to replace the carbs they are no longer getting from booze..yup..but it keeps the cravings going, it's feeding the monster.
eat a lot of protein. Well, it has a huge effect on my moods, my cravings, my ability to make good decisions for myself. And when I go out...and eat carbs rather than my low carb diet at home, I find myself MUCH more vulnerable towards drinking...
In a situation where I am already nervous or a bit uncomfortable, staying away from carbs can really help me ride it out.
