Something that really helped today
I was alone, having really bad cravings and I decided to get out my old oil paints and canvas. This was an activity I used to enjoy before alcohol entered my life. At first I was skeptical and didn't really think it would work, but I was amazed to find that the more I painted, the more focused I became. It took me several hours to complete a small painting and afterwards I felt really accomplished and good about myself and cravings had subsided.
I'm just posting this to remind myself and others that sometimes the best thing to do is distract yourself with an activity/ hobby. Don't just spend all day watching TV, do something.
Even if you think "this won't work," just try it anyway.
