Good job!

One thing I'd add to the HALT and playing the tape suggestion is to stop doing whatever you are doing that is triggering a craving- if it's watching a show, turn it off! Then.....Go do something else. Take a nap; go to bed early. Walk outside and call a friend or family member (even if you haven't told them, just call somebody you can talk to for a half hour or such!)....go to an AA meeting. Do laundry, cook....

Keep active and distracted especially here in the beginning. You will get stronger. Keep going!!
