AA doesn't work for me, been there, done that. I've been nearly clean a year. I just forgot how to function without a drug. I'm in this slump and it seems to me that the only way out of it is to use again. AGH!
It may not feel that way, but congrats at being sober and clean for nearly a year!
You've allready got some good advices and I agree with them. In Holland these days, (new year) is a lot of attention and tips for drinking not or less.
These cravings will pass. You could go out, for a walk. Drink 2 glasses of water and put your mind on something else. Cleaning the house, working out, looking to a good movie... For me a walk works, and litteraly get out of the situation. If there is booz and I get tempted, I always have my common sense and my legs to get away from it.
Best wishes!
