I kept returning to booze because of all my self loathing about past actions. Finally, am forgiving myself and realizing the most important thing I can do for continued sobriety and peace of mind is be awake. When the urge comes, I remember how bad the last drunk was and breathe out for a bit. Seems to work most of the time. Taking a walk in the woods and hearing the forest sounds helps too.
