I need to stop and reflect on it when the cravings hit instead of just saying "It'll be fine" and picking up. I need to spend a couple months away from booze as much as possible.

I have an unofficial sponsor who was addicted to crack and benzos (weird combo I guess), and has lived successfully free from drugs over a year. I've called him a couple times, and we have chatted about our addictions. It helps a lot. Maybe that reinforces the need for me using this site.

I'm not sure if a recovering crack addict will help a recovering alcoholic though.
