Audio books to help urges?

Hey guys, new here. I really got into a bad habit on my days off. Drinking started as something to do when I was bored, but now I drink too much on days off and I don't even enjoy it. I used to struggle with anxiety and I found this audio book that helps me use positive self talk and other instruments to stop the ridiculous anxiety I bring on myself. I was wondering if there was a similar audio book for dealing with urges to drink. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, can't help you precisely with what you're asking, but I've used audiobooks where the narrator has a deep and calm voice as a remedy to what you described. Any lectures from Noam Chomsky did it for me. They also put me to sleep very effectively at night-time ...

Welcome to the Forum Breaddude!!

I'm not sure on specific audio books, but we have an ongoing list of books that members have added to here on the Forum, that might have something of interest:

There are quite a few great channels on youtube to follow. "we do recover" has many AA speakers, "alcohol mastery" is another good one.
