This may sound nuts
 
Thought last night if my mind wondered again, the way I am going to distract it is run round the block, so every time it gets bad I can associate that with running, never know may lose a few pounds in the process

Definitely a better activity than drinking!

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for fending off cravings and to better your health, win/win!

Not only will it distract your mind but it will also cause your body to release endorphins into your system which produce a positive "feel good" reaction. Endorphins help to reduce stress, ward off anxiety and feelings of depression, boost self-esteem, and improve sleep.
