How to distract youself when you get the urge to do you addiction?

Hi there, welcome here at this plattform and congratulations to this very important first step - coming here and asking for help. You don’t have to struggle through this alone. What are you trying to get sober from, if I may ask?

When urges hit, I usually come here and write about it. Sharing and learning is my strategy to beat it. Maybe call a sober friend or hit a meeting, even online, is a good way to strengthen your commitment. I also found it very helpful to read more about the nature of my addiction and listen to what other peoples stories were like.

Other than that, I went out into nature and walked walked walked a lot, listening to podcasts and music.
Is there anything you like to enjoy doing?
