Hi Findingtheway

Great question. Welcome back and nice job with your Day 5.

I do not have a particular grounding technique but a few things that have really helped with the past 20 days.

1. Staying well-hydrated. I reach for cold cans of fizzy water all through the day, especially when I have to sit still, and make a big glass container of tasty jasmine green tea to sip in the morning and afternoon. I find that I think more about drinking alcohol when I feel thirsty.

2. Manual labor and nice walks with the dog in the afternoon when my tolerance level is lower and I am tired. Instead of drinking, I just quick burn the frustration and this has worked well.

Take care and be strong
