plutonian, i don't know if i posted to you about a gratitude list. suggestion- write a list of things you are grateful for. like-1. i've been X number of days clean. 2. i feel better that i have made the decision to be drug free. 3. i have friends/family that love me and support me in my efforts to stay clean, i'm learning to like myself, etc. i found it important to list things i really believed and was grateful for. the list was short at first but grew daily. when you have a craving pull out that list and read it. it reinforces the positive. hope this helps.
oh! when i craved a drink it was suggested i sing out loud. the mind can't focus on 2 things at once. course ppl in another car sort of stared but i didn't care.
