I have read through your previous threads sweeti, and you have resisted strong urges before.
All I do, is ignore the urge that is happening at the time, and it goes away. I go do something, bath, you tube, housework even (as a last resort haha). Read, write, come on here, read, write. Watch TV. Anything really.
The urges are getting not as intense already as they were at first.
The rest of the time, I am looking for things to rebuild my life into something I want it to be. Of course, it's early days, and I have periods of intense boredom. But I refuse to use drink to fill these hours. Because the foundation stone of my new life is, no drinking.
If I remove that foundation there will be nothing to build on.
I drank for 18 years, much like you day and night for days and days on end, short few days break, do it again.
I would not have wasted those 18 years if I had known it's not impossible to resist an urge.
