I find being active helps - even something as mundane as cleaning up, or exercising. spots, a good jigsaw puzzle, music - anything that takes you out of your self for a little while.

Even Urge Surfing can help,

or conscious breathing

or simply a quiet place and a chanting mantra...
Om still works pretty well for me

If it feeds on itself...stop it feeding

There's a lot of things you can look up and try

Thank you Dee. Just reading your posts is so comforting. I do have some healthy habits, but I need to really focus on doing something other than drinking as soon as the thought is even considered. I like the sober life, even though I only knew it for 50 days. It's my destiny. I am not supposed to be a drinker any more.
