Another sheet I picked up that I thought might be of help.
Now that you have stopped drinking, your main problem is not to start again. Here are a few practical tips, based on the experience of others, that should help make this easier for you.
1. eat as much as you can. You will feel less likely to want to drink on a full stomach.
2. If you do get a craving for drink, this may simply be the body's demand for liquid, which is often very strong. So drink plenty~provided its not alcoholic. Fruit juices with glucose, tea or coffee with plenty of sugar will best satisfy your body's need for plenty of liquid.
3. Alcohol destroyed your limited supply of vitamin B. Take plenty of vitamin tablets, especially those containing vit B compound.
4. A feeling of depression can be the result of being physically out of sorts. Keep your system regular.
5. Never sit gazing into spacewith your mind a complete blank. do something, anything positive.
a. Go for a walk.
b. Do a bit of gardening.
c. Have a bath.
d. Have a shave
e. Make phone calls.
etc etc...Any of these will break the mood period.
6. Never hesitate to conntact a friend. The person you call may need your call as much as you do. So never hesitate to ring.
7. Have a plan for your day. Dont just muddle through. You may not be able to carry it out but do your best.
8. Easy does it. Alcoholics tend to try and do too much too quickly.
9. First things first. Get your priorities sorted out, remembering always that sobriety takes precedence over everything else.
10. Losing your temper is a luxury you cant afford. Remember its even possible the other person could be right, so be tolerant and avoid emotional disturbance.
11. There is no problem which a drink will not make bigger, so keep all yours down to their true size by staying sober.
