Why do you want to quit? What can sobriety bring to your life? What do you dream life can be like?
Im here my friend and im sure others will chime in.
Fight like your life depends on it!

Cravings happen, especially earlier on. Do you know what might have triggered the craving? Is it something you can address specifically? It sometimes helps to distract yourself with something like a long walk, a bath or shower, a movie, etc. If you haven’t read any quit literature or listened to any sobriety podcasts, those can help, too. You can use the search function on here to search podcasts or quit lit and find quite a lot of suggestions.
Hang in there! You’re worth it.

Stock up on non-alcoholic beverages (but avoid the alcohol aisle if you go shopping!). I also found that chewing gum or sucking on hard candy helped me early on. And lots of distractions. Good job coming here and reaching out! How is it going?
