As I told TU, I was probably going to spend a little time talking about how I look at this as a Buddhist. For me it was just another craving, more intense than usual but not a big deal. I have learned through my Buddhism that thoughts are just thoughts, they don't require action and that feelings aren't facts.
So, just because there was a craving for scotch it was just another feeling, it wasn't MY feeling. I didn't choose to have it, the same as the thoughts. I didn't choose to have the thought. In fact there is no way for me to choose whether or not to have a thought or a feeling. They come and go of their own. What is me is whether I choose to react to them or not. That's why I like RR so much as it fits right in with my world view.
Feelings come and go
like clouds in the sky,
RR is my anchor.
