Hi Eve,

Hang in there. It helped me a lot to distract myself, watching movies/TV, posting around, going to a meeting, going for a walk, whatever. It also helped me to eat sugar--ice cream, chocolate, whatever. Not the healthiest, but it helped me get through some massive cravings. I focused on being healthier after a couple of months sober.

Good for you for reaching out! Stay close. Don't drink. The cravings will pass. I've even heard of people timing them, to see how long they actually last.

If you search "urge surfing" that might give you some more ideas.


To get sober, you have to go through this part. It does get easier.

Huge hug and tons of encouragement!!!!
