Do you have time to schedule some stuff to do while you’d normally be drinking? It’s been working for me so far.

As many have said here, knowing your triggers is important. If it’s a specific time, place, activity, maybe try to stay away from those right now and try to do something else. It helps keep your mind off of drinking for the time being. Staying busy is not a long term solution, but it helps in the meantime to hopefully get some sober days under your belt and formulate a plan.

I literally wandered around downtown after work last week for a few hours because I knew the urge to drink would be too strong if I went home. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

You can def do this. Keep posting here!
