I’m glad you resisted the urge too. Those urges can be so strong. I haven’t drank in a little over two years, but had a strong urge about a month ago. Even went out and bought it. I was feeling some pretty strong negative emotions and for some brief moments thought drinking would help me deal with them. I ended up throwing the alcohol in the dumpster. What helped me get through those urges was playing things forward. What I mean by that is thinking ahead. What’s going to happen if I do binge? What will be the consequences, how will I feel...etc.

Happy you were able to get a little sleep. Hang in there!
Thanks for this!
