I like to keep a craving in perspective. It used to be that one would come and I would find it overwhelming.
omg, Omg, OMG!
The sensation makes it seem like if I don't drink something horrible will happen. Reality is just the opposite.
Nothing establishes that contrast for me like taking out a piece of paper and pen and writing down the 5 worst things that will happen to me as a result of not drinking. Or at least
trying to write down 5 bad things that will happen. I never get very far before I realize that what I am
feeling is ridiculous - just a symptom of my addiction, and not worth spending any more time worrying about.
Best of Luck on Your Journey!
