Ugh I want a drink but I dont

Don’t do it.

Simple right? :slightly_smiling_face:

I know the temptation seems strong. Think of it like you are sitting on the shore of a river, and a “party boat” is passing by, and it sounds really “exciting”. But you know if you get on that boat, it’s trouble. So you choose to stay on shore, on the side of the river.

Eventually the boat will pass. The current will carry the boat away. The distraction, the temptation, will pass.

In the meantime, do something constructive. Spend some time here on Talking Sober; read some of these books or listen to the podcasts, or join an online meeting Resources for our recovery; binge some TV or movies (Netflix Hulu HBO Apple YouTube etc…… binge ideas please!); take a walk in the forest; go to the gym.

Don’t drink. It will not work.
