Distract yourself by doing something you enjoy, listen to music, read a book, watch a movie, go for a walk. write down a list of reasons why you are choosing to stay sober and a list of things you don’t miss about drinking. Sometimes seeing it written down, helps get rid of the urge to drink. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well and it just plain sucks - especially when you are used to comforting yourself with alcohol. But just stay focus on the positive things going on in your life and your future goals.
