Hi
I just thought i would post this for myself to look back on, i've been struggling a bit with cravings these last couple of days and thought if i recorded what changes i've made and how much better i feel since becoming AF it would keep me on track. If anyone would like to add any then feel free, it's all for the good
1. Changed the way i shop, Don't go to the supermarket when AL can be sold if i need anything in these times i either do without or send my OH.
2. Stayed away from social events that i can "get out" of.
3. Changed the people i socialise with.
4. I have become quite selfish in maintaining my sobriety meaning if people don't like that i don't want to go out and have become "boring" then that's their problem not mine, i will do anything to keep this going and if that means losing friends that were drinking buddies then so be it. My priority is to look after me!
5. Learned to spend more time actually listening to what my family are talking about and enjoyed that time instead of thinking when i can get my next fix or being too drunk to remember.
6. Sticking to my plan when cravings like these ones kick in.
7. Keep calm and do something to distract myself when cravings hit.
8. Redecorated the room i spent most of my time drinking in. (change of surroundings) including moving my PC to a different room to break the association.
9. Spend more time doing one day of batch cooking instead of cooking every night when witching hour approaches and i opened that bottle.
that's all i can think of just now but will add more as i learn. :thanks:
