Hodd, the thing I struggle with is, I'll have an urge, it passes, then another sometimes very close to the first, but not the same continuous one. This can go on all day sometimes. I know as soon as I take that first drink the urge to have more will intensify, so drinking doesn't even take it away, I just end up passing out and having an even stronger urge than the one I started with when I come round but having lowered inhibitions to be able to ignore it because I am still half drunk
I just can't find anything to distract myself with all day sometimes.
Short bursts of urges throughout the day, yes, I can do it.
One's 10 minutes apart all day, (not every day, but some days) this is still tripping me up
Although I know that doesn't matter, just don't act on the urge, right? So why can't I do it when there are days like that?
