Welcome back to the site Amie and congrats on getting back on the sobriety track!
- A few things i tried this time around…
- surround yourself with support and accountability.
- go to meeting(s) - try in person and or on line.
- look into a sponsor
- possibly with the help of a therapist or on your own - isolate the reason(s) you drink and see how you can heal from them (for me i was filling a void - a never ending hole of banished emotions). It is different reason for everyone
- change up your routine(s) so you are not the old 5:00 feeling roll around (if you get my drift). I would pick my drinking time to do grocery shopping or work outs (something different).
- Find ways to keep yourself occupied / busy… i played a lot of games on my phone when i was alone with urges. Ideas to keep yourself busy
- Staying active here - doing daily check in’s (sometimes multiple times a day) - helps with accountability
- Practicing daily gratitude
Wishing you luck with your sobriety journey - remember that we are stronger together! Keep strong
