natural way to stop craving !

[kota]

Hi all,

I have just been practising to fill the stomach up when I feel it empty and it really stopping cravings.
-I have purchased so many things I like and put in the fridge.whenever I feel craving I start eating snack, juice, fruit, and food.if you are fatty or have any other diseases you can choose your combination accordingly.
-If we are not at home , we always can carry a bag up with us with the stuffs we like to eat.
-In my recent experience, we should not provide any space in our stomach for alcohol until our body and mind adjust its chemical patterns and reduces craving gently..
Just to share with you its totally my own perception ,though somewhere recommended it as a tool.

Hi Kota, great work on fighting your cravings. For me, cravings were a large problem. I would get them so strong, even at work, and in the old days, they would last until I was home from work and drinking beer.

On this site, many kind people, helped me learn about "urge surfing". Treating each urge like a wave, and mentally picturing it really helps. A wave has a height (or strength), and is has a length of time, and then it will pass. For me, stopping and thinking about this concept, allowed me to surf the urge, and let it pass. This gave me power. Knowing that urges will come, and trying not to hide the fact from myself also helped. It is normal, and they will come. Ride them.

I found that after the first month, the strong urges (out of the blue sometimes) started to decrease in strength. The social triggers still remained, and that was my next battle. All the best,
Hill

HI Kota,

How are you doing today? Did you make it through the day without AL yesterday?

Yes, filling the stomach works. So does staying busy.

Best to you!

For me it helps to keep my blood sugar level too, so eating small snacks frequently is good. Hunger for food and cravings for alcohol can feel like the same thing to me.

Very helpfull. The intense craving is what I give in to even though I have no love for the taste of alcohol. I don't drink enough water, nor do I eat well.
I have resolved that part of this struggle is physical in nature.

Continuing the fight~
