Be gentle with yourself, especially in these early days of sobriety.

When your mind is tempted to roil and wrestle, stop and immediately divert it to something benign. If you can, utter a quick praise or thanksgiving to God.

You may have to do this deliberate diverting 100 times a day, but it will keep you from going into self-destructive territory.
