Do you have any support for yourself in regards to sobriety like AA or a group? If not, you may need to find something...someone... It's helpful to have someone to call...when the temptation is high and our Ts can't be available 24/7 like a sponsor can be...

RTS, I am not that great at self care, but I do have a list of things to cope at times like this......I'll put a film on soon maybe....
I'm not sure how to talk about that darn list!! My heart feels like it's going to stop when I think about it.
I don't do AA, it wasn't useful for me in the early days, and I just know, deep in my bones I won't drink when I am like this. It led me to trying to take my life too many times in the past.......but it is a really strong indicator for me that I am not doing ok when I have the thoughts of wanting to.
