So I'm in grad school,and this morning I was supposed to meet with a new professor to start a project. Well, I misunderstood the email and thought we were supposed to meet tonight. By the time I high-tailed it across town, the person I was supposed to meet had left for the day and his assistant just told me to come tomorrow morning instead. So now I have several hours until the next meeting (which is in the same location) with nothing to do. I'm stressed that I missed the meeting and that it will reflect poorly and me, not to mention bored for the next several hours. All I want to do is head to the bar down the street, just for a few, to calm down and pass the time...

Maybe go to some place that doesnt sell alcohol and get an iced tea or soda? Looks like you are in Florida so probably nice outside... grab and ice cream and go for a walk?

It will pass. I always like a walk or game on my phone.

I think we all wish we could do that. But you know for a fact that it won't be just a few, and while it may initially calm you down, eventually it will make everything worse.

Try something else to calm down. Coming here to post and talk through the cravings is one great way to do so. Take a walk. Read a book. Take a nap. Make sure you aren't hungry. There are many, many things you can do. In fact, there is really only one choice you could make that is a 100% guarantee to make things worse.....and I think you know what that is.
