Trying to break the thought patterns of habit. Feeling better the more I recognize and pay attention to it but I’m still navigating what to do with my thoughts of want. It’s automatic and it drives me crazy that no matter what I do, the craving is still there for me to fight. However, with each passing day I feel it is somewhat easier to manage. I’ve actually found better ways to cope with it and recognized what helps (even though I’ve caved and drank a few times, the best thing is that I keep coming back and trying again). The way out is through and I’ll continue to strive to find better things to do than reach for a bottle :)
