I always have the urge to drink when something good happens. It feels like a celebration or a reward. Now I ask myself what will a drink give me? A drink is NOT possible for me. One leads to one more, and on and on I go. Now I reward myself in other ways. Sometimes just recognizing the good that happened is reward enough! I'm finally feeling like I deserve good things.
This is a useful reminder to all of us: an urge can feel immediate and final, but often it becomes much weaker once you stop for a sec and look at closely what is underneath it. I especially liked the focus on curiosity rather than shame.
This is a very useful reminder... especially for me. An urge can feel urgent and final, but often it becomes much weaker once you stop and look at what is underneath it. I especially liked the focus on curiosity rather than shame concept.
