What things do you do to cope with cravings?
I'm just starting Day 4. I was hanging by a thread yesterday, but made it through. The thing that has helped me through the most has been coming to these boards and reading/replying to others struggles.
Aside from that, the other day I bought an adult coloring book for the first time, along with a pack of colored pencils. I'm amazed how calming it is to just sit and color.
I enjoy cross-stitching, but have a bit of thumb tendonitis right now and holding the hoop is really painful. But with coloring, I can use my prominent hand only...it's calming and keeps my hands busy.
What do you do to avoid drinking? I could use some more ideas. Even if they aren't a fit for me, I'd love to hear the coping methods others use. Thanks!
