Way to go on not giving into the temptation to go in, that was a huge win.

I think staying busy is a great idea, just don't overload yourself too much since being tired can be a trigger for some people.


I agree with Wasting Asparagus that it would be a good idea to make sure you have some things you enjoy doing on your list.

When I was in early sobriety, I made a point to mentally celebrate getting through the day sober. Just thinking "Way to go me, I didn't go to the liquor store and stayed sober" and then doing something small that I enjoyed as a reward. I kept it small since Ii was broke, just having a cup of my favourite herbal tea. I still do this to a lesser extent today, since i do get random cravings once in a while, and at the end of the day when I go to bed, I kind of mentally cheer myself.
